After 18 months of trying to figure out why I was having painful, heavy, almost constant bleeding, I had some uterine polyps removed in October. During the procedure the doctor noticed some thickening of the endometrium that she didn't like the look of and took a biopsy. The biopsy results have come back confirming I have Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atypical cells. She said this is unusual at my age. She also said that it's not always the case but there is a small possibility of early cancer. She has asked that I start a high dose of progesterone 2 times a day for the next 2 months and then I'll have to have a new biopsy taken.
Endometrial Hyperplasia was mentioned multiple times over the past 18 months, one gynaecologist even tried to refer me via 2 week wait this time last year because of concerning test results and me having risk factors but it was rejected because I'm too young. Anytime I said I was scared that it was something more serious than just an irregular cycle I was told I was too young for something sinister to being going on.
I am so scared. I don't know what to do with myself, or who to talk to. I can't stop crying. Both my mother and my grandmother have been diagnosed with different types of cancer this year.
Could somebody who's been through this maybe explain the process? Or just reassure me? I feel so alone..
