Waiting for my results

Hello everyone,

This is my first visit and post on this forum.  I was referred using the 2 week pathway 4 weeks ago tomorrow for suspected endometrial cancer.  I have had an ultrasound scan and also a hysteroscopy and waiting on the results of the biopsy which are due tomorrow.  The week waiting has been unbearable after the surgeon said that he was fairly sure I was looking at a cancer diagnosis.   Just wanted to say hello really and looking for tips to avoid going mad before the results come through.

  • Hi there,

    The waiting is awful but it seems like you will soon have the results and I so hope they are good. I got my intial results within a week, but after surgery (masectomy) its nearly 4 weeks till I  get, 1 week to go, its so hard I go from positive to negative hundreds of times a day, constantly thinking... so I hope you get good results and no more waiting, but exercise, reading, and dont be alone are the tips I would give 

    Good luck  

  • Just to  update that I received a positive cancer diagnosis on Wed but the doctor thinks its a low grade.  I will know more after surgery in 2 weeks time.

  • Sorry to hear this, what surgery are you having? Wishing you all the best and fingers crossed it is low grade 

  • I have to have a full hysterectomy and then they will let me know the outcome and grading etc about 3 weeks after that.  Its an emotional rollercoaster isnt it.  When do you hear your results - is it next week?  The waiting is so stressful isnt it.

  • I hope you are of a age where a hysterectomy isnt going to affect any other plans. Yes everything happened so quickly, feeling that surgery going to be the worse, but it actually was fine,  then the wait for what you realise will shape your life forever, mine is next week, will be nearly 4 weeks after surgery. I doubt you will be able to exercise much after surgery but keep busy in other ways, try to distract yourself as much as possible, and try not to google things, it just makes it more confusing, and not healthy. 

    Wishing you the best of luck ️ 

  • Hello dear lady. We are all here should to need to shout scream cry. We know that the waiting of results and further surgery is a worrying time ( in fact can be mentally draining) my own results are due in a weeks time, although I feel like a fake as my cancer is so very very early. Thinking of you, and everyone here. Best wishes and prayers to you x
