Hello

About 8 weeks ago my Mum had a hysteroscopy and biopsy after an ultrasound showed a thickening of the uterus lining. Following the hysteroscopy, the Dr invited my Dad to join my Mum and explained that she had cancer. The Dr explained possible treatment options but said my Mum would need an MRI and a chest x ray to see if the cancer had spread before deciding on treatment plans. The biopsy came back negative!!!! So, they invited her for a second hysteroscopy, under general anaesthetic so they could 'get a better look''. That biopsy also came back clear and my Mum has been told she doesn't have cancer!!!!

So, good news but I'm still in shock regarding the whole waiting period. This possibly explains why I alternated, rapidly, between laughing and crying when I had an ultrasound myself last Friday. The Dr told me that the lining is significantly thickened (I sought clarification on the word significant!). He showed me the screen ( which looked like a 2 year old had done some manic scribbling on an etch-a-sketch) and explained that he could not tell the difference between the endometrial lining and the muscle wall. He said he would advise an MRI next but the consultant may want to 'get in there'. He then asked the lovely nurse to ensure my appt with the consultant was brought forward. (that was the part that worried me most).

I feel like I've entered some bizzare, deja-vu, Twighlight Zone experience :(
