Awaiting a urgent biopsy appt

Been having lots of symptoms but mainly continuous vaginal bleeding, clots, pain, bloating. 

Dr referred to gynae. finally after 5 months wait had a tel consultation now been referred for an urgent biopsy. It's been over 3 weeks still no appt. Rang to chase and have been told I'm on the waiting list and an appt will be sent as soon as possible :(

Starting to get freaked out now. Got my mum through endometrial cancer 3 years ago & my mind keeps thinking I have the same.

Anyone in similar situation or has been?

  • Hi mazywazy,

    I'm glad to hear things are now moving a little in terms of appointments, but it sounds like you've had a really long wait and I can imagine the continued wait for the biopsy must be difficult and frustrating. I'm not sure if you were given a timescale for when you should expect to hear regarding the appointment, but there's certainly no harm in calling to check, and if you do this again you can ask for an indication of potential wait times.

    I'm sure there will be many others here in a similar situation, so hopefully you'll receive further replies soon.

    I also hope it's not too much longer for you to wait and that you get the information you need soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
