Lots of procedures

Post menopausal bleeding coming from vulva 

I have had lots of procedures regarding this and am having a wedge biopsy tomorrow 


3 hysteroscopies
1 colposcopy and smear and punch biopsy 

1 colposcopy and punch biopsy 
1 letz
And now this wedge biopsy 

just wish a decision could be made on having radiotherapy or surgery soon as it’s been going on way too long and I want it over

anyone else going through similar?

  • Hello debz64

    I'm sorry to hear about all the investigations you've recently been through. Presumably, the previous biopsy results didn't give the clinical team enough information to be able to make a full diagnosis and so decide on the best way forward in treating your symptoms. Hopefully, the wedge biopsy that you had yesterday will give them clearer results. 

    It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious or frustrated by the process. We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. It can sometimes help to talk things through and I wondered if chatting with one of our nurses may be beneficial for you. I'm sure they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you have some news soon Debz64 and that the team is able to improve things for you. 

    Best wishes,
