  • Hello K.k.k.,

    What a worrying time it must be for you and certainly not something you would have expected when you were just having an ultrasound scan to check your coil. It is normal to be worried after hearing what the gynaecologist said to you but try not to anticipate what it might be as there are so many conditions it could be other than cancer.  

    The best thing to do while you are waiting for biopsy results is to keep well away from Google. As you've experienced Google will only give you high anxiety by bringing up all the worst case scenarios but what it doesn't say is that these worst case scenarios are also often the least likely possibilities.

    Waiting for biopsy results is truly nerve-wracking and I thought I would share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing too concerning and that you will get a proper diagnosis soon. 

    Best wishes,
