I hope it's ok to post in these forums, I haven't had a diagnosis yet but it's looking likely. I have had six weeks of really bad pain and abnormal bleeding on and off, had an ultrasound that showed an abnormal thickening of the womb lining. Finally got...
Not coping with news that endometrial polyps appear cancerous. They were removed during hysteroscopy under GA and mirena coil inserted to slow down growth. Now waiting for biopsy results. Hysterectomy seems to be recommended and perhaps Chemo and...
