Stressing Out!

Hi all, 

i would be grateful for a bit of reassurance from anyone who has been in a similar situation....had endometrial biopsies about 10 days ago. Hospital confirmed results were back last week and letter prepped but consultant needed to check. Was told I wouldnt be told anything over the phone in any event. No results yet but had a text today to say I am on the waiting list for surgery and will get a pre-op date soon and got home from work to a letter with a pre-op date next week! I still dont know what my results are.....am I stressing unnecessarily? The consultant and I discussed a hysterectomy in any event but I was on the understanding that we would decide post-results. Im just wondering if this is normal procedure aiI guess. Thanks in advance ladies x

  • Hi, 

    I have been in a similar situation to you. 

    I have had a couple of endometrial biopsies along with other tests. The only conversation amongst the tests I've had with consultant was 1 consultant appointment and consultant stressed the need for surgery but not sure at that point what surgery as still undergoing investigations. 

    Fast track a couple of weeks and various tests etc I had a letter from MDT Gynae Oncology, I was not even told it had gone to oncology, and MDT recommends Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes, a repeat CA125 and Omental biopsy. My letter also says I've been added to the waiting list even though this has not been discussed with me.

    I have no idea what any of my results are apart from ultrasound which has picked up a suspected endometrioma and that CT has confirmed this has grown another 2cm (now 8cm). I also know my CA125 several weeks ago was high at 141. 

    Apart from that I'm pretty much in the dark and not had a lot communicated to me.

    Do you have a follow up with your consultant? 

    I have a follow up tomorrow which I'm absolutely bricking and trying to write down questions but a bit mind blank.

    Hope you get some answers/correspondence soon and a follow up with consultant, I would of thought that was needed at least.

    Take care
