Hello darling,

I am kinda in the same boat, as in I am awaiting to hear back.. I had an emergency CA125 blood test straight after having my smear test and then another check from the Dr on Thursday, also been sent for an emergency scan. Have been told to go back to the drs on Wednesday to talk about the results, so I get the being scared part.. it's the just not knowing what could be. 

I really hope it all turns out to be nothing sinister for you. 

Hugs xx

It’s so worrying isn’t it ? I have decided to have the procedure under local as I don’t want to wait another month for a general ! I am just so worried how it will change our lives if it is cancer , we have five kids and even getting them picked up from school next Monday is hassle as my mother is 80 and can’t helo . I sincerely hope your news is good news, suppose we should be glad the Drs are so thorough 

Hi I'm 56 and had a few incidents of spotting. I was taking lots of pain meds for something else and thought this was the cause. I eventually went to see Dr. Had a hysteroscopy on Monday 10th Feb was called back on Fridayv14th and told I had uterine cancer. I had a CT yesterday and am booked for MRI on Tuesday. I have a full hysterectomy booked for Monday 2nd March. All moving too fast. I can't sleep and just need a minute to process everything. Waiting for answers is torture . I feel so alone.

Oh dear. I’m sending you huge cyber hugs, Princess69. It IS moving so fast. When last year I had tests upon tests within days, I felt as you must be feeling now, like I was caught up in a whirlwind. Felt I needed space to just process what was happening. Hence when in December I got a call asking me to go in the following day to see my consultant I refused it, insisting I needed a week’s notice so I could make arrangements at work. Well, I can tell you the week I waited to see the consultant was sooooooo torturous!!!! I got so much in my own head that I was a mess by the time the appointment day came. . . Of course I don’t have any answers for you, Princess69, I only say this to say I don’t think anything can make this easier. Only thing I now tell myself is the NHS provides one of the best health systems in the world, Hope your local trust is a good one. You will be well looked after. Have they told you I’d you will be needing chemotherapy or any other follow on treatment? I pray the hysterectomy will be sufficient treatment for you. Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way . . . 

Thank you for your reply. I'm still waiting on results from CT and MRI to see if any further treatments will be required.  I just need some time . X

Ok. I’ll keep you in prayers the MRI and CT so not raise any other issues. I feel your anxiety. Is there a chance of you asking for a week to just take in what is happening before the treatment commences? As I said, I did that last year when I felt I was being dragged into a vortex and for me it only gave me more time to worry and I was a complete mess by the end of the week. But then really I have had more time to process this than you, as my process started in November last year. 

I have an appointment with my consultant on Tuesday to find out the result of my biopsy. Given how much I’m bleeding and the pain, I’ve been praying I’ll have a date fixed for my hysterectomy when I see her. Never even thought more tests might be necessary . 

Please let us know how you are keeping up and don’t hesitate to sound off.... 

Good luck with your results. I pray that things will go well for you xx  

Bless you, hope your ok, have you had your results yet?

Hello hope you don't mind me asking but I'm going through the same thing possible polyp can I ask you your out come x

Hiya, mine wasnt a polyp, but thickened lining, pre cancerous cells found

I would need regular check ups to monitor but due to my main symptom of extremely heavy periods I am booked in for a hysterectomy of womb and cervix

That's really good news , I'm going out of my mind with worry, 

Hi All, im new to posting anything online. Im 40 years old has an appointment for heaving bleeding that lasted 22 days then was given meds to stop the blood loss. Internal scan showed lining thickness, a fibroid, cyst and a polyp. Im seeing a gynaecologist tomorrow but its not booked with the hospital im so nervous about this i cant stop thinking of the worst possible outcome. Its horrible worrying so much. My hospital told me it could be up to 6 weeks for the biopsy to be taken. Ive had pre cancerous cells CIN2 of the cervix in 2008. Any advice would be much appreciated as i know there are so many of us in the same position. Thanks xx

Hello Ladies,

I'm writing this exhausted after a horrible afternoon involving a scan and hysterescopy last week.

I'm 34 years old and have always had heavy/painful periods. My earlier cervical smears showed borderline changes and over the years these have fluctuated between normal and abnormal. I had some random bleeding in October 2018 and saw a consultant in March 2019 who found high risk HPV (not strain 16 or 18) and CN1 changes. I had a follow-up smear after six months and was HPV negative. Smears since then have been okay and I think I'm back at every three years.

In parallel, over the last 18 months my periods have become more frequent (between every two and three weeks) and very heavy, involving a lot of clotting. I've bled through clothes on several occasions and have to wear two extra thick pads. I went to a GP with this late last year and had a scan which came back okay. I saw an NHS consultant in February/March this year I was referred for a hysteroscopy. Due to the Covid-crisis, I was not able to get an appointment. This year, I've been bleeding between my periods (spotting) and having lower abdominal pain. 

I phoned my GP as it's been six months since I was referred and noted my symptoms were worsening. I was finally sent this week for another scan and hysteroscopy which I had today. The scan revealed an ovarian cyst and the hysteroscopy, which was agonisingly painful even with paracetemol, revealed many uterine polyps. The nurse took a biopsy and I've had blood tests for the cyst. I had a funny turn afterwards, my blood pressure dropped and I was sweaty, faint and sick. 

It's now Tuesday and the nurse called me to say that the blood tests for the cyst came back okay but because of its thickness they are going to do an MRI. I'm still waiting for the biospy results.

And, to top it all, I'm on my very heavy and painful period.
