Biopsy :((

So I had a hysteroscopy 18 months ago because of abnormal bleeding they did biopsy and everything came back clear .so docs recommended a different contraception..... This worked for a while but unfortunately the abnormal bleeding returned so after going back and forth from docs me saying there was something wrong .....I had another hysteroscopy yesterday and they have discovered my utures is full of poylops..(can they develop that quickly).docs said some looked very abnormal.multipul biopsy taken  and he removed a poylop for testing . He says I need operation within 2 or 3 weeks and I need to prepare for a hysterectomy...does this mean they suspect uterin cancer .. he did mention it , he said if it is cancer it's one of the better ones to have . . I'm so scared .. my brother is currently having treatment for bladder cancer and everyone is still processing his diagnosis... Doc said results should be back in 7 days and then we plan... Do I keep it to myself till I know what I'm dealing with...or do I potentially upset family further....any advice or experience grateful. 

  • hi darling.

    i am so sorry you're going through all of this. i know how hard of a decision this must be, but don't suffer in silence for your family's benefit. you need support right now, just as your brother does. if you feel ready, you should sit them down and have a conversation with them.

    message me if you need anything x

  • Thank you for your reply. The waiting on results is just so overwhelming.im trying to just keep busy but I am exhausted. I have received my surgery pre-admission questionnaire..I have decided to wait for my results before telling family..

    I just wish I knew if things grow that quickly?

    What the doctor meant by some of them look abnormal?

    I know he did 3 biopsy and removed a poylop for testing...am I overthinking this ..?

  • i understand how scary it must be to be waiting for results, and i know this is very much easier said than done, but try to remain glass-half-full about this until you get a definitive answer. take someone with you to any appointments for support (i know you're choosing to wait to tell your family, that's completely fair enough, but i'd definitely still take someone with you if possible). 

    i wish i could answer your questions but i've not been in your shoes before. i'm waiting for an appointment with the breast clinic currently and i'm worried too. the unanswered questions are daunting, aren't they? but i'm sure we will both be fine. remember, even the worst case scenario of 'you have cancer' isn't a death sentence. it is terrifying and it's going to be hard but you can still live a full and happy life. we will get through whatever this is! 

    best of luck, please do keep me updated -- message me if you need a friend x

  • Thank you for your reply. I very much appreciate it. 

    Strange thou ..when I had cin3++ and urgent lettz procedure in 2018 I didn't find it nearly as daunting as this is ..why is it different,why do I feel differently this time ..I mean mentally..  

    When the doctor read my notes from the biopsy I had 18months ago and said everything was normal he wasn't expecting to find anything ,I had got myself in the mind that they wouldn't and they would just say  u need the coil to help with the abnormal bleeding...but I think he was as surprised as me ..

    I don't know how to plan for this...I'm main carer for my son who..is palliative care only and completely dependent on me for everything 24/7... If I need a hysterectomy..what will I not be able to do..will I need other treatments..so many questions so few answers ..

  • UPDATED

    ...so docs called . Biopsy showed areas of concern. Need surgery to remove mass and poylops and some lining from uterus to be sent for further testing . . Just wait on surgery date now ....always wait..
