Hi all
I've been going to the Dr's for nearly 2 years with symptoms. I was totally fobbed off and at two separate points told even though my symptoms may be cancer symptoms I was too young to have it (was 33 when I started asking for help).
I had a scan last year 18mm thick womb lining and was told although it was unusual again as I wasn't 40 they weren't doing anything further.
Anyway after complaining crying and kicking up a fuss I got to see a gaenacologist last month who was just awful wouldn't even examine me and said it was IBS.
Jump forward to another forced referral, another scan and a different gaenacologist and he was amazing.
He said all my symptoms and my scan results point to womb cancer and I should have been biopsied last year. I have all the risk factors ie pcos, fat, not birthed a child, family history and the only one I don't tick off is post menopausal. I had no idea these were the risk factors and I feel incredibly let down.
I had a biopsy on Friday - had to clamp my cervix and go in twice awful experience but important.
I genuinely went on Friday under the guise that I was going to be told nothing was wrong and just to have a coil and the Dr validated my symptoms and worries.
Sorry for such a long ranty post and I know it could turn out not to be cancer but I didn't know where else to go with this information.
In still sore and in pain from the biopsy did other people experience this? Also I've been told 4 week wait - have any been coming back sooner.
Mixed emotions right now but mainly anger at terrible GPs who did not care about anything but covid for the last 2 years (my person experience not speaking about all GPs obviously).
I suppose I'm just looking for some shared experience and to be told I'm not being dramatic haha
Thanks if you got to the end.
