hi Sm24

the hysteroscopy was a little uncomfortable, but not painful, there were staff there to hold my hand , reassure etc to get you through it, if it hurts just let them know.

Hope all goes ok, i  had very early stage 1a, earliest detected,  i was lucky enough not to have needed anything other than surgery for a hysterectomy.  

take care & best wishes

Hi snoopy

Thank you for your reply

That's comforting to hear, as an fm sufferer you'd think I'd be used to pain but I'm actually a bit of a baby lol

I'm obviously hoping that the tests come back negative but I'm also prepared for the official diagnosis and hopefully if it is that they've caught it early

Thanks again 

Hi Nikki 

Thanks for the reply 

That's reassuring to hear, how did they get in touch with you was it by phone or letter? I'm walking round with my phone glued to my hand scared in case I miss a call 

I hope I'm not waiting too long as I agree it's awful, just want to know when they're going to be and then I can mentally prepare for it

Thanks again

Hi sally

After having my scan i went to the GP for the results, thats when she said possible cancer and then  booked a hystersocopy through the GP system whilst i was sat there. It was fast tracked so i was booked in witihin 7 days. When i had the 1st hysteroscopy i must have been squeezed into a busy clinic because the consultant was jus rushing me, took a sample and confirmed there was a polyp.  She said the hospital would contact me for the 2nd hysteroscopy. 

A week later i got a phone call asking to come in for a pre op assesment for last wednesday and the 2nd hysteroscopy was done friday so within 2 weeks and arranged over the phone.

Yes like you i was glued to the phone. As you can see i am still glued to the phone because i am awaiting my results. No idea how they will feed back to me. Im at work but i just cannot focus, just waiting for the results. Can't even focus on half term activities. I had next week booked off for half term but walking around in a daze at the moment.

Nikki I will keep everything crossed for you, it's no good coming out with all the usual platitudes of try not to worry as that's pointless, i just hope you're not waiting too long

I've just received a letter with a password saying if the clinic haven't rung me by tomorrow I have to ring the clinic, oh well looks like things are moving fast, which is good but scary 

I'm glad I found this forum, it has helped 

Big hug

Hi Sally

Thankyou so much. Yes its good to chat to others in the same boat. When i look around me, everyone is so busy in their own world with their own issues. Where as i feel as though i'm in limbo, do not know which direction my life will be going in. 

A friend of mine said her biopsy took 10 working days, and I'm only on day 3 at the moment...........gosh a long wait ahead of me.

5 days after the hysteroscopy i can say i am still experiencing occasional pain in my tummy and still bleeding lightly, which should settle down in the coming days. 

I hope your apppointment comes through today, and if it dosn't please remember to chase them.

 All the best.

Hi Nikki 

Got my appointment for a week on Thurs, would they be taking the biopsy on that appointment do you think?

Oh I'm dreading the wait for the results, it's going to feel like forever! 

I've only told my immediate family but I feel that I'm the only one that's keeping positive about the tests coming back negative, they're all thinking it's going to be bad news and it's really getting on my nerves! 

Hope you're wait goes quickly

Hi Sally

That's good your appointment is sorted now. Did they say over the phone if they were going to do a hysteroscopy?  I am not quite sure how it works. I was referred by the GP straight for the hysteroscopy which is when they take a biopsy as well, so i'm presuming it should be the same for you, but not 100% sorry. Your GP or the person booking the appointment would have confirmed with you what the appointment is for.  Either way not long left now. I hope it all goes smoothly for you. Please stay positive, that's the only thing that will keep you going each day. I had a very low day yesterday, i created my own future with  "if this" and "if that" not very good thoughts at all. So Today i i was off work and thought no way am i going to let this ruin my present day. What ever it is i will deal with it. Sod everything im going to enjoy my time. So off i went picked up my son and my nephews from school and arranged a sleepover. They have kept me busy today and hoping to have fun with them all weekend.

My thoughts are with you and i hope it all goes well for you on Thursday. Keep me posted please. My results should hopefully be out end of next week. Even if the results are not what we desire, at least we know what the root cause is and deal with the issue before it gets worse.

Good luck and thinking of you.

Nikki xx

take care all

especially thinking of those of you awaiting your tests / results
