am I a ticking time bomb...

Hi everybody I've been reading posts for weeks n weeks now n can see a lot of people in similar situations to mine some lady's with who afta an agonising wait have been given great need and also some lady's who haven't been given the best of news. But which ever news you've received I just see posts full of positivity and helping each other out, I send you all masses of love ️ 

I'm  a 38 year old female with PCSO syndrome I've had it for many years. and last year I was having abnormal bleeding n lots of discharge n was due my smear, I had my 1st one which came back inconclusive so had a wait for cells to grow back for it to be repeated this came back with HPV and low grade dyskarysosis  resulting in needing a colposcopy thank fully everything seemed fine and I will have this repeated again come January. 
 

How ever afta this a few months lata I became extremely unwell in the March and ended up being admitted with a huge right turbo abcess I was in hospital for 2 weeks as it took them quite a while to figure out exactly what the problem was. Since then I've had large blood filled cysts in my right ovaries. Since being treated for the abcess the constant bleeding and watery bloody discharge has continued and the pain in my right side can be so intense it generates to my hip and my right lower back. Afta going back and forth to the gp and the gyne unit they did another transvaginal scan and I was told my edometrial lining is far to thick and I'd need to be referred for a hysteroscopy. 
 

I waited a while for the app but I've eventually had this done a week ago now although it wasn't pleasant I managed to be able to bare it awake and the doctor managed to scrape so much thickening away and removed some polyps also. And now I'm awaiting the biopsy results,  I haven't really given much thought to it as I've read so much of people panicking and making them selfs unwell and then having the all clear after an agonising wait, that I didn't want to get my self worked up. 
 

I was never told how thick my lining was how ever I've received a letter today telling me that it was 19mm thick and it's just really unnerved me... I've been remaining so positive but that letter today and all just what's been happening these past 12 months has finally hit me and I can't help think what if... Im just feeling really over whelmed from the bad smears n now to all of this with the edometrial thickening. I really hope I won't have to be waiting much longer for my results from the biopsy.

 

Has anybody else been in a similar position to my with the smears then this? Resulting in either outcome positive or not so positive? I know you shouldn't think about outcomes untill you've faced with them, but it's very hard not to. 
 

thanks so much for reading Racheal 

  • Welcome to our forum Rachy621, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. You seem to have the right attitude in trying not to get yourself worked up before you receive the results. As you rightly pointed out, so many people worry unnecessarily during this agonizing wait and there is nothing you can do apart from waiting and keeping busy and distracted and avoid thinking too much about it if you can. I know it is easier said than done though! Keep away if you can from Google and the temptation of doing any online research as this inevitably only makes us worry more.

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi there ...

    And just wanted to say hello and welcome ... there's not much I can add to our amazing moderator lucey 

    But just wanted to add wer all scared waiting for results .. don't know anyone who isn't.. but staying in a more positive zone is the way to go ... unfortunately with all aspects of cancer it's about waiting .. tests / results  / operations  / treatments and more results .. and there's no easy way through .. 

    Fingers crossed you'll get good results ... sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie x

  • Hi Lucie, 

    Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I think your totally right google is not the best way to turn, as it can make anxiety's that are already high threw the roof. 
    I'm going away tomorrow with the family and think it's just very well needed, some time out from reality will be just the ticket :) thank you. Have a lovely day xx

  • Thanks so much Chrissie virtual hug very welcomed :) 

    I totally agree with you the wait for anybody is just awful. And reading peoples story's on here has made me realise the things that have been happening to me are more common that I originally thought. 
    I haven't really confided in many family or friends what's been happening just my husband n our mothers. As I think unless there is anything to actually tell them there's not much point just think would add more stress with people constantly asking have u had results etc. So thought joining here would be useful.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply I hope you have an amazing Sunday hun ️ xx
