Suspected Uterine Cancer - Why MRI instead of Hysteroscopy?

Hi,

I’ve had a transvaginal ultrasound and I have a large mass in my myometrium. I am being sent for an MRI. I was expecting the next step to be a hysteroscopy as that is what the hospitals guide says is the next step. Can anyone shed any light on why I would be sent for an MRI instead please?

No need to worry about scaring me with any of your responses. I’m all for honesty and straight talking. I  just want to prepare myself. I’m autistic and like a plan and explanations for things so the not knowing is worse than knowing if that makes any sense!

Thanks for any guidance x
