Very Upset and Frightened

I had a hysteroscopy and womb biopsy on the 27October.

Consultant removed polys and didn't seem concerned. The blood spotting-my symptoms- stopped after the procedure.

I rang yesterday to see if my results were in. The secretary said they weren't back and to phone again next week.

Today, at 4-I had a call from the secretary asking me to come and see the consultant tomorrow.

Does this mean terrible result? I am literally sick with worry.

    Probably not. Most likely it means the results are in and the consultant has a window where he can see you. They could be bad o alternatively, they could be good and they might want to reassure you as quickly as possible. You can't really tell anything from the speed of the appointment.

    MargaretMary. Bless you for replying. I have been sat up all night terrified and watching this thread.

    There is only a few hours left but I'm going to hang onto your words until then.

    Thank you, Margaret Mary.

    I don't have cancer but one of the polyps removed had pre-cancerous cells. So, I can either have a hysterotomy or a coil fitted.

    I feel much better but last night was awful. I was so pleased to read your kind words and they gave me something to hold onto. You made things better for me and I was and am grateful, Thank you.

    Hi Miss Mapp

    i have been through an identical situation as you…complex atypical hyperplasia (pre cancerous cells) in one polyp. I was recommended a hysterectomy but on the day was sent home because my blood sugar level was too high…hysterectomy rescheduled for 3 months…in the interim I had a Mirena coil and I hated it, I had bleeding every day for those 3 months.

    I had a hysterectomy (everything removed) on 18th September this year, I was so glad to get rid of that coil! I went home the next day and am now fully recovered…

    My hysterectomy biopsy results came through in 2 weeks and showed nothing, zilch…no cancer (40% of atypical hyperplasia cases show cancer after biopsy following hysterectomy) and no hyperplasia…so mine was contained within just one polyp. 

    I can’t tell you what to do but I’m so glad I had the hysterectomy (even though I had a broken arm at the time) and came home looking like I was expecting triplets, and I no longer have the worry of “what if” hanging over me anymore.

    Good luck x
