Two week wait for biopsy

Hi, I’m on tamoxifen and I have just been told that I need a biopsy as my womb lining is 8mm. It’s difficult not to worry as I was going through this process for breast cancer less than a year ago. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this ? Many thanks in advance 

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Ketc-a although I'm sorry to hear that you need a biopsy on your womb.

    I know this must be a very stressful and worrying time but the Cancer Chat community are here for you Ketc-a and hopefully it won't be long until you receive some support and advice from some of our members who have been in a similar position.

    If it would help to talk things through with someone, then do give our cancer nurses a call next week. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 and they will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    Waiting for tests and results is never easy, but we are sending you all our support and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,

  • Hello. I had a biopsy and my womb was thickened  recently. She told me straight away i had abnormal cells, then you wait for the result of biopsy. You can call the gynae team that took the biopsy and ask. But they would have told you then. They actually look at cells under microscope while you are changing. I hope this helps.
