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, 

    Yes. I had a similar experience. March 2021 I saw my GP n was told I would receive an appointment letter to see the specialist n have an ultrasond scan. I waited for months but no letter. .....long story. In the end I had to go to a private hospital for a scan n seeing a specialist. That was October n it turned out I had stage 2 endometrial cancer. 

    Your case might be different. But i would suggest that you try to chase after your referral or go private if possible.

  • Hi Chui,

    Thankyou for your advice. Unfortunately not in a position to go private :(

     

    Luck would have it I was called in after a consultation cancellation today. Just had the biopsy done. Although the consultant believe it is more a hormonal issue than it being cancer as he didbnot see anything untowrads.

    However he has sent of urgent results so left me a little bit confused. Results will be about 2 weeks so waiting game continues. 

    Hope you have had the treatment and are recovering well.
