Hello Scarycat59

I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing health concerns that you've had and the difficulties in communication between your GP and the hospital which have led to some confusion and delays. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. It sounds like your GP is quite supportive in trying to get some answers and to offer some reassurance in the meantime. If you'd like to talk things though with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to offer any support and advice they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I do hope that the appointments you have arranged bring some news soon. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,

Hi, did you get this sorted? Sadly, ( well for me too) it seems like a battle and it is difficult enough for us at a time like this. I am 51, was on HRt from May 2024 - in November I started to bleed a lot - heavy bleeding - and then pain - I went to the Drs 2 weeks after it began - she used a speculum to look and arranged blood tests for the next day and arranged for me to see a gynaecologist at the hospital the following day. She noted that she saw blood on my cervix when she examined me in the letter to the hospital ( I peeked) the dr I saw was awful and that’s another story but messed up the biopsy he took and told me to come off HRT whilst we waited for the results. I had a sonogram a week later and that showed enlarged uterus at 10mm wall. I had to wait 3 weeks for results, as expected they came back void ‘no endometrial cells present’ I then went for a hysteroscopy at another hospital and they took a biopsy of my uterus and she said ( she was a specialist associate not a gynaecologist) that my uterus looked normal and that 10mm is normal ( that is not the case in everything that I have read from top research institutes etx) - that was the 13/12 she also told me to take her again but with no breaks- around a week or so ago I received the results - they came back clear - but the thing is on anc off I was and am bleeding for that whole time. When I spoke to a GP over the phone she said that she doesn’t really know about it all but the specialist believes it is hormonal and that is that. No further tests. But the bleeding and cramps during and following the routine smear - I just have a worrying feeling that they have missed something. I don’t know why they immediately thought of uterine cancer and concentrated on that - then when all clear for that went straight to ‘Tair 6 months of HRT’ and we will then look at it again. My fear is now - could they have missed cervical cancer - apparently most cancers including early stage cervical cannot be seen with the human eye - they need a microscope through colposcopy - so it could actually be the cervix bleeding thus whole time… sorry .. I have gone on a lot on your post - I can’t bear another interrogation or battle or run of tests again - but know in my heart that I need to as it doesn’t seem right at all. I really hope that you get it sorted and that everything is ok
