Results from Hysteroscopy / Endo Biopsy - suspected womb cancer

Hi everyone.

I'm 37 and due to heavy, prolonged bleeding, I was referred by my GP for a transvaginal and abdo ultrasound.

Had the scans done and it showed grossly thickened endometrium (27mm), so I was then referred 2ww to Gynae for suspected womb cancer.

I had a hysteroscopy and endo biopsy done and was told it will take approx 4 weeks for the results (this is now into the 4th week).

I just wondered how others have received their results, did you have a telephone call or a letter and would this be from the Gynar consultant or the GP?

Not really sleeping much at the moment and I just want to know what is happening with me, so I'm just anxious to hear something. I am trying to stay away from medical websites as I just end up upsetting myself but I am worried as I meet a lot of the criteria for womb cancer, for example being obese, never had a child, family history, thickness of endometrium etc.

Thanks in advance
Sarah

    That seems a long time to wait for results but I realise different time scales depend on which hospitals are involved ,I received my results from Hysteroscopy by letter within 2 weeks which thankfully were nothing concerning also my GP Surgery had received the results and they contacted me as well after I'd received the letter though ,did the person who did the Hysteroscopy give you any indication of whether they had found anything worrying or not they did with me ,I hope you find out soon its terrible waiting and worrying .

    Hi Jenny

    No he didn't really give any indication, he just said that it will take 4 weeks for the results to come back. I actually called the hospital yesterday and the secretary had a look for me and the sample is still with the lab apparently but she confirmed that all results are sent via letter and if I havent heard anything by this time next week, to call her again. I feel bad chasing them but its making me so anxious just to know whats going on.
