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

  • I meet lots of the criteria as well, fat (very) PCOS, no children, T2 diabetic but as yet no cancer diagnosed..this could change after hysterectomy as 40% chance it will show on biopsy with atypia hyperplasia, I’m keeping everything crossed I’m in the 60%.

    There are many slim ladies with children who get diagnosed with womb cancer…my consultant told me Dr Google should be kicked into the abyss.
