Polyps/fibroids

I've been having a lot of lower abdomen pain as well as heavy heavy periods and spotting occasionally in between periods. I had a smear about 6 months ago that the results showed I needed another in a year. I've had a scan and an internal which drs said I have a large cluster of fibroids in my womb 8cms plus. They also said I have a growth on my cervix, possibly a polyp. I have to be referred to gynaecologist but it's been 8 weeks and nothing. Should I be worried? I'm 37 years with 3 teenage sons 

  • Hi Anon1985,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm not sure if the doctor gave a timescale for the referral - if they didn't, or they did and it's gone beyond that, there's no harm in giving them a call to check on this, or the hospital you've been referred to. It sounds like you've been waiting quite a while - there could just be a long waiting list, but either way it would be good for you to have some expectations.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon about this.

    WIshing you all the best,

  • Hi, they said I'd be on the routine list which I have been for 6 weeks now. The dr rang me last Friday 22nd September and said the specialist had looked at my scan etc and has transferred me to the urgent list and I should have appointment in next few days. I still haven't heard anything
