Endometrial biopsy

Hi, A little background info......

I am 40yrs old, have had heavy bleeding which lasts 6mnths at a time with no gaps. This is with large clots, painful cramps and pain in the lower back. I had two TVs .... one whilst an one after bleeding, doctor said my lining is 14mm. I had a biopsy done, an awaiting results. One week in...! 
 

I asked out right if he thought there could be a chance of this being endometrial cancer, he said it is very unlikely. 
 

Although I can't help thinking the worse! I must add, I have bleed this way for two years with so much time off sick from work. Having so many tests, day surgeries and yet no diagnosis. I have been to A&E where I have bleed so much an were  told why are you wasting our time, it's just a period. 
I just know something isn't right even though everyone just says it's a "period" get over it. 

 

I just want a diagnosis, whatever that may be. At least I can deal with what I have in front of me.... rather than not knowing. 
An feeling like I'm exaggerating my symptoms. 
 

Has anyone been through anything similar? 
 

wishing you all good health x 

  • Hi vanillagorilla256,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear the doctor doesn't seem too concerned, although I can of course appreciate that it is never easy when there is this uncertainty.

    It sounds like you're one step closer to getting some answers and hopefully some peace of mind. I hope it's not too long to wait now for the results of your tests.

    Meanwhile if there are others here with similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
