Worried about MRI

I've been experiencing gynecological issues for over two years, and have to date had 19 consultations, some face to face, some telephone. I have had three internal scans, regular scheduled cervical screening and waited 18 months for first gynecologist appointment. I experienced very heavy bleeding during my very regular periods and repeated UTIs, pain and random issues with brown watery discharge.   The three scans all showed different results and suggested various polyps or fibroids in the uterus. Finally had gyne appointment, It was carried out over the phone, and I was told the reason for no clear diagnosis was because I was overweight. I was put on the waiting list for a hysteroscopy. After waiting six months I attended the hysteroscopy appointment last week. The gynecologist couldn't find the neck of the cervix and some thing was blocking it. Then when conducting first internal I've had, stated that there was a problem and ordered urgent MRI. 
I'm worried sick and don't know what to think. If it was cervical cancer, surely it would have been picked up sooner? Are there any other explanations for the neck of cervix not to be detected.

    Hi Nelly,

    A very warm welcome our forum. I am so sorry to hear of all the trouble you've had and still no diagnosis. It sounds as if you might now be on the right road to discovering what ails you. Try not to overthink the situation. Here's hoping that your MRI appointment comes through soon and you can get some answers. 

    I am a breast cancer survivor and don't know much about cervical issues, so, I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. I would expect that, as with differential diagnosis of breast cancer, there could well be other less worrying causes of your symptoms. This is always an anxious time. Try to keep yourself busy - this should help the waittime to pass. 

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
