The long wait for results!!

The wait for my results is seriously driving me mad.

I had a hysteroscopy with biopsy for a 19mm thickening and abnormal bleeding on the 14th March.

My consultant informed me he would write with the result providing it was all clear and no further treatment is required and we would speak in 3 months time.

On the 30th March I received a letter with an appointment for the 18th April with the consultant, apparently his next available appointment.

So you can imagine what has been going through my mind and with another week and a bit to go I'm starting to wonder how I can make it through.

Working is difficult, being at home is difficult. I just can't get it off my mind.

Does anyone have any advice to help to keep calm?

Thanks.

    It really is difficult when you have to wait for results and the why you get them sometimes. My advice is to try to stay busy and try and stay positive. I've had irregular bleeding and thickened womb lining also. Results from my biopsies were no cancer but no cancer does not necessarily mean no treatment or immediate discharge. The meeting with the consultant may be just to discuss your options, to get your womb lining and bleeding back to normal. For me that was the mirena coil and further biopsies after 6 and 12 months but we are all different.

     

    At Christmas I had a MRI for suspected pancreatic cancer also and got the letter a week  later but the appointment with the consultant was just over two weeks later than that and I was petrified but the consultant wanted to tell me they had found nothing on the MRI  and talk through next steps in my investigation.

    I wish you well and hope you receive good news at your appointment
