Biopsy for cancer of the womb lining

Hi i was referred by my gp 4 months ago for post menopausal bleeding. I'm 51. Have been seen by a private company but via the Nhs as my gp wanted me to be an urgent referral. Doesn't seem to be very quick though as only just had a hysteroscopy which confirmed the lining is thickened. Despite it saying on the Nhs website that results should take 2 weeks, ive been told they may take 8 weeks because they have a backlog. Feel worried and the thought of yet another wait is driving me up the wall x 

  • Hi Helen and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry about the wait you'll be having for your results Helen. Sadly this seems to be becoming more common due to the strain the NHS is under at the moment but fingers crossed they come back a bit before the 8 week time frame you've been given.

    Our members know how tough waiting for results can be so hopefully you'll receive some support from them soon but if you can try to stay busy and distract yourself as much as possible during this time as it will make it slightly easier to cope with.

    Kind regards,
