I am a first time poster. I went for a Hysterectomy on Thursday. I had a ultrasound including an internal in March and was advised my uterus was showing as 30mm they said at the time they would fast track me but I have been on a 22 week waiting list until the end of last month when my GP asked for a fast track again and so had my appointment this week (it was 20 weeks since my initial scan). After Thursdays procedure the Consultant brought me into the office and said he had serious concerns about what he saw. When I said "it is Uterine cancer isn't it" he said "I have serious concerns, I am fast tracking your biopsy". I have significant pain in the area which spasms at times on the left side. My feet are very swollen ankles and top of my feet I am unsure if this is related.
As you can imagine I am in bits, I cannot sleep, do not want to eat and do not know what to do with myself. I am trying to stay calm but it is so hard. When I first heard what he said I was somewhat relieved, I have always feared that people were putting me to the bottom of the pile and considered me a time waster or a hypochondriac, for months before my initial scan I had been bounced from blood test to Iron tablets back to blood tests and even been told I should go on anti-depressants because my excessive tiredness was probably as a result of depression.
I suppose I am just wanting to ask others, when you were fast tracked how long did it take to get your results? he said no more than two weeks but he did say he was fast tracking. But also just want to get this out, it is hard waiting, it could well be it is an easy fix problem but his face kind of said it all.
