Well had a mare of a morning. I only slept in for my pre op assessment this morning. I went anyway thinking I would rebook if possible but bless them they let me have my pre op assessment anyway. Now I just have to wait u til next Tuesday for my hysteroscopy. I find myself being fine for a little while then the anxiety piles in along with all the what if’s. Good luck to everyone who has their hysteroscopies this week. I’ll be thinking of you xx

Thank goodness they fitted you in. What a relief. I know what you mean about being fine and then not. I started to listen to a podcast about how to tell children someone has cancer and it properly set me off. I’m really worried they notice I’m bleeding. They know I’ve been stopped since my youngest was born 12 years ago so it would raise questions. I want to wait til I know for certain what I’m telling them and what they means for our plans over the school holidays. Sending lots of luck to everyone having tests and waiting for results. xx

It’s really difficult isn’t it. I haven’t told anyone other than my hubby. I think waiting until I have a definitive answer is better for me at the moment but then it leaves you without that support of having people to talk to when you need to just get it all out. That’s why I’m so thankful for everyone here. It’s nice knowing there are others who know exactly what I am feeling. Thank you all so much xxx

I’ve done the exact opposite … I’ve told everyone because I don’t know how much help I’ll need. I work as a self employed tutor so have told most of my parents so that they have plenty of notice if they want to look elsewhere; I’ll be out of action for a couple of months at least! Told my adult daughters, my sister and my friends….i can’t bear them being nice about it all so just want them to carry on as normal. The difference is that last I didn’t know … and this week I do! I’m no different, my closest friend has recovered from breast cancer twice … she’s been invaluable. Talking here is so helpful too because we’re all in the same place at the same time with the same thing xxx

I am see the benefits of doing that and hopefully once I have had my hystoroscopy next Tuesday the consultant will tell what is up. If it’s cancer then I will tell everyone so that they are aware but if it isn’t then I can just tell them what it’s is if that makes sense. My mum is getting on in years and cared for my dad who had oesophageal cancer. It wasn’t a great time for any of us as dad was stage 4 terminal by the time he would go to the doctors and this upset my mum terribly. I would rather spare her the worry if it’s not cancer. My hubby has been an absolute rock. He’s good at pulling me out of my anxiety and calming me down. Making me laugh and see positives when I’m not seeing any. Always good to have someone who can do that. Guess this time next week I too will know. Just got to get through this week now :)

Totally understandable; I’m slightly ahead of the game because I had my hysteroscopy at the weekend and I know for sure what it is. Someone else I know didn’t have it after her examination … hope,alls goes well. My ex husband was and remains a waste of space to the point I won’t bother telling him and our daughters don’t want his support. 

I finally got the date through for my hysteroscopy. It’s booked for Monday afternoon. I keep thinking that once that’s over I’m home and dry…. and then I remember that I’ve got the results to wait for and then any possible diagnosis and treatment. I’ve told quite a few people as I’m a bit if an over- sharer anyway, but people have said I seem ‘distracted!’ 

Woohoo! Day before me. Good luck. I hope it’s not what you think. Hard not to feel the pangs of anxiety take over but I think I’m just about coping at the minute. I’m hoping the consultant will inform me of what they see when I wake up. If not told after the op I just hope the biopsy doesn’t take forever but have our week away in Cornwall to keep me distracted. Xx

Hi, glad you have appointment through , I don't have my appointment at gynae until 23rd, the wait has seemed like forever, still not sure exactly what will happen at the appointment, haven't been given any info on hysteroscopy so assuming it's TV scan and biopsy.Already had pelvic Ultrasound which showed thickening, just have to see on the day, I guess. Have also had another 3 days of bleeding since then.I remain on my HRT for time being , Evorel Conti, so continuous oestrogens and progesterone (was previously on Sequi which was two weeks Oestrogen and two weeks both). Bleeding only started when changed over to Conti so I had put it down to that but GP picked up on it and so here we are playing the waiting game.

I have told my family as don't want them to feel left in the dark and it helps me to be able to speak about it to them. Also a couple of friends know . Trying to keep positive  but I have prepared myself for worst case scenario , so it won't come as so much of a shock to me if it is , does that make sense? Everyone copes in different ways , Fingers crossed for everyone and I have found it so beneficial to be a part of this chat as you all really do know what I am currently going through , so thanks, it really helps .

Great to hear you’ve got a date now WiseOwl. I’ve just been to Boots to ask for strong painkillers. The pharmacist seemed a bit non plussed that I was being advised to take painkillers in advance and then I got thinking - was I advised by the hospital or was it online. I checked the NHS advice on line though and it says you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen. The pharmacist said I could take the two together - it’s a low dose of the latter he gave me. 
Fingers crossed for everyone. I’m desperate to told something tomorrow, even if it’s bad news. I want to get planning and lose this uncertainty. My ex partner has oesophageal cancer and is currently in hospital miles away and I want to plan when to see him next too. Sending calming thoughts to us all. xx

I get the preparing for the worst. I’ve done the same. Hope we are pleasantly surprised. xx

Good luck for tomorrow RoseTree. Please let us know how it goes. X

Here's hoping you get good news tomorrow x

Hi Gran21, I hope you are getting support. Sounds like you have been experiencing similar issues to me.  Change of HRT is the hypothesis for me from each Dr I talk to.  You can see my thread somewhere.  But my thoughts are 'all over the shop'.  But as a lot of people say on here, there's many explanations, many options. This is what I'm trying to focus on.  Not Dr Googles treacherous generalisations!  To repeat, many explanations, many options.  Take one day at a time, what's in front of you right now...its OK to feel wobbly Xx

Hi, have read your other post , similar to my story but my HRT changed December last year and bleeding on and off since January.Hope your scan goes okay.Google is both friend and foe .Also I am a nurse which doesn't help . My family are very supportive and trying to keep positive .
