Hi
I'm 35, in July I had a mri scan as awaiting a back operation, during this scan they noticed a possible benign uterine polyp and the requested my gp do referral to gynaecology, I have close family history of cancer with my dad having bladder & kidney cancer age 48 and his sister bowel cancer age 43 then liver cancer,lung & brain and passed aged 45.I am diagnosed with many mental illnesses being bpd,health and general anxiety, ocd intrusive thoughts, depressive disorder & panick disorder so I'm now in a complete mess, the worrying cause a mental health relapse.
I was referred end of October & within 2 weeks of referral I had an ultrasound scan, it's been 4 weeks and have been trying to chase results, my gp has no knowledge of the ultrasound, I finally got to speak to my consultants receptionist yesterday who told be I'm not on the system yet as the waiting time for referrals is running currently at 30 weeks! She said I will then receive an appointment for the consultant to descuss scan results with me, she also said "because it's a possible benign polyp that means non cancerous so there's no rush to see me" and that the ultrasound results have not yet been reviewed by the constant because im still in the referral process
I have constant dull heavy ness constantly with odd sharp twinges in my lower stomach, watery discharge, very heavy periods with large clots and back pain
questions running through my head-
with close family history should i been seen sooner a biopsy be taken sooner?
how do they know it's benign when I've had no tests and the ultrasound hadn't been checked yet ?
if there is nothin actually there why is the wait so long ( 30 weeks) and an appointment wasted which could be for someone else?
sorry for such a long post, I hope it makes sence I just can't cope with the worry because of my family cancer history
