Hi BelleCeleste

so sorry to hear that you've found yourself here.it must have come as quite a shock.  From experience, the waiting is the worst part. .  Your mind will take you to every eventuality and that's perfectly normal. I went into my appointment expecting the worst possible news, and when it wasn't the worst, I felt relieved.  No matter what surgery/treatment you need, take it step by step.  Having been down that road I'm here if you have any questions. Got my fingers crossed for you x 

Hi Annie

this must be a very worrying time for you and it's only natural for your mind to go to worst case scanario... but until and if they say it's cancer there is a chance it isn't.   There are many reasons for PMB - thickened womb lining, fibroids, polyps etc.   but we do often think the worst.   Don't feel that you should be strong like you are in work as this is a personal thing, a health thing, your thing. So it will affect you differently, but you obviously have  many skills for work that you can utilise when you put your mind to it.   They key thing in my opinion is distraction. Keep busy, exercise, occupy yourself so that there is less time to dwell.  When I was waiting fir my scans and results I started decorating at home and I really threw myself into it as I had to cover a number of weeks!  But I did t want to talk to anyone about it as I didn't want them to worry until there was something to worry about.  You might feel differently ... if you do, I hope you have some supportive family/friends around you. But if you don't want to talk then that's ok. It's a personal choice and only you will know what you feel is right. It does all seem very daunting when you "don't know".  Believe me, once you have results and you do need to have any kind of intervention, you will most probably feel relief. Just take each day as it comes. That's all you can do. Fingers crossed for a good result. 

Hi Catswhiskers, thank you so much for replying. What you say makes complete sense and has really helped me, which is hugely appreciated. You are right - I think it'll be a sense of relief / easier to accept once there's clarity about the situation, whatever the outcome is and until that point it'll be one day at a time. Like you, talking to others isn't something I will be doing which is why these forums are so helpful. 
 

I'm going to try and go back to work next week and see how it goes and make sure I fill my time, as you say, when I'm at home to stop ruminating. Going to try and give myself a worry window each day and then shut it down when it creeps in at other times. Four weeks still feels like a long time to wait  - guess I'm just thinking that if the 'abnormality' they found on the TVU is caused by malignancy then it's going to have four weeks to get worse and then time on top of that before treatment if that's necessary..... but I guess that's the same for any of us. 
 

Thank you so much again for your help. Really appreciate it. 
Best wishes to you
