Gynaecological cancer biopsy referral

Long story, history of infertility and miscarriage. Forced by GP to go on HRT to protect bones due to hormone profile 9 years ago. Told my risk of anything very low due to hormonal profile and HRT was just to bring me to normal levels. Worst advice ever! Now 49, told GP many many times about spotting but suddenly referred for urgent ultrasound. Lining 6.4mm so only slightly over their 5mm guideline) but she considers me postmenopausal which I'm not so then used HRT excuse (which is convenient considering it was just to get me to normal). So urgent biopsy referral.

GP is just bash bash do tests! No explanation, cancer mentioned in reports she never has, but equally has given me NO information on what else it might be, what the chances are it is cancer etc. She is just determined to prove herself right ... being treated as a body who has no feelings! 

Caused severe anxiety and triggered past trauma re infertility and losses. 

Very angry with GP in how it's being handled and for ignoring me when I've mentioned it before. Also ignored other tests non related just because they came from an adhd clinic. 

Anyway in a state of limbo and very very worried and anxious. Happy belated birthday to me!!! 

  • Hello fairydust75 and I am so sorry you've been through all this recently with it being your birthday too by the looks of it. My colleague Jenn has given you some very good advice on your other thread and all I wanted to add to it after reading your latest update is that as it sounds like you haven't had the best experience with your GP, it may be worth trying to get a second opinion and seeing if you can talk to another GP who will I hope have a better manner and will be able to explain everything to you gently and answer questions you may have. 

    Our website has helpful information on how to get a second opinion

    I hope that you get the reassurance you need very soon and you managed to talk to someone who will help you feel better. 

    Best wishes,
