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

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 .

Thanks for your reply and kind words.  I am a physio, so like you, it sometimes doesn't help having our knowledge.  However, I've heard and read alot of positive journeys...we just need to see beyond the mess ourmind can create.  Be realistic, and try and be 1/2 step ahead to consider some potential positive action.  There are answers we just need to keep trying.  My husband is very supportive and patient when I'm feeling defeated...anyway, look after yourself, I send you my best wishes.

Agree and thanks, just need to see what happens, after all could be nothing to worry about and if it is cancer then not a lot we can change and will deal with it as best we can .I think for me , it's the not knowing and the waiting, especially when I see how quickly some are being seen here, different Health authorities , I guess . Keep positive , we all got this !

I’m just out of my hysteroscopy which was fine as I took gas and air before and during so was nicely zoned out thank goodness. I also took paracetamol and ibuprofen about 30 mins before my appointment. The doctor told me that she could see no sign of cancer. The sample still has to be sent off and tested but she wasn’t concerned at all she said. I’m hugely relieved.  Thanks all for the reassurance along the way and support. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for those still waiting tests or treatment. xx

That’s an awesome outcome Rosetree. I’m thrilled for you :)

That's great news!

You must feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.  The body does strange things.  Great news for you.  Take care Xx

I had mine today too I’ve also been told that there was no sign of cancer. I didn’t have gas and air as it makes me feel so sick so I had local anaesthetic. I only went to my gp last Thursday so in a week I’ve had scans and a Hysteroscopy! Just goes to show that a lot of these tests are just precautionary so that should give others some hope x 

Great news!

That's good to hear Kaylinn48, at least you can move forwards now xx

Oh I’m so pleased x

Oh what a relief for you!
