Hi there
So I went to see the doc as I had some bleeding which lasted for a few days. I was told last year I was post menopause. I'm 53. I still had the coil in so an appt was booked to have the coil out and swabs were also taken. An ultra sound was booked for the following day. I didn't think too much of it but was shocked when I also had an internal scan. I was then told my uterus lining was 5.3mm and normal range is 4mm. The sonographer then told me I would need a fast track within 2 week appt to have an urgent procedure under anaesthetic to take samples from the womb. By this point I'm completely panic stricken. She said not to worry I'm just over the threshold and really didn't say too much. I was in a tizz and didnt ask the questions I shd have asked. My GP then calls me and says the sonographer shouldn't have said any of this and the 2 week appt is for a gynae specialist to contact me within 2 weeks to tell me whether I need further tests or not. And if I do need the procedure it's usually not under anaesthetic. I'm still panic stricken. Yesterday I received the referral letter which is quick given the 4 day bank holiday Easter weekend. Today I've checked on the nhs app and can see the 2 week triage appt for suspected gynaecological cancer. Even more panic stricken then ever. What a horrible process. The waiting for a phone call is really not nice. I'm praying for a good outcome. Just wish someone had explained the process to me a lot better.
