Hello Lis83

I know exactly how you feel. I am still awaiting results and it feels like forever. You imagine any type of cancer going and I've driven myself mad!! It's the words...... Although, I feel best to have it checked than second guessing. I hope all goes well and the scan is ok. Take care. 

Thank you so much for replying  sorry you are going through this. 

Had you had a higher than normal blood test too? What was the scan like?

Sending positive thoughts ️

Thank you xx

No issue. Make a list of questions to ask. 

Thank you, will do. I wonder how long it will take to get the results back 

Usually 2-4 weeks. I had a MRI scan three weeks earlier and only got the results back on Thursday afternoon. 

Ah ok, thank you ️

You might want to see if you qualify for extra care and support. 

Oh really? Sorry to sound so naive, but what extra care is there?

Hello, I’m in a similar boat and saw your post as am awake at 1.12am having a panic attack and not able to sleep. I started bleeding last Friday after nearly 15 months of no periods. Today my ultrasound showed a thickness of 4.8 but no fibroids or polyps. I saw the gynaecologist afterwards who attempted to do a hystroscopy to do a biopsy but couldn’t due to previous ablation I’d had 10 years ago so I’m now waiting for a date to have it done under general anaesthetic. I feel drained and scared. Google is not a good place to be and I wish I could stop but I’m trying to find any reassurance I can. Good luck with your tests.

Hi, oh bless you, so sorry to read this. I was awake at that time too, feeling sick thinking about how my last smear hurt so much. Maybe I should phone them and say how worried I am?! 

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the ablation? I had a colposcopy about 10 years ago, and they did the laser treatment bit.

Do you know how long you will be waiting? I really hope you aren't waiting long. The wait is just awful. And I agree, google is not a good idea, and yet we all do it :/ trying to find some answers. Take good care x

Hello again, an ablation was a procedure I had done that I believe burns away the lining and helps stop or reduce very heavy periods. It did work really well for me and although I did have periods still they were manageable over the last 10 years. It does make it difficult for them to now take a biopsy though as it’s all a bit mangled and my gynaecologist yesterday said it was getting too much for me to handle with just a previous paracetamol before my appointment hence being referred for a general anaesthetic. I’m also freaked out by the words cancer on the nhs referral. It’s horrible isn’t it xx

I am so nervous about maybe having a biopsy, I can't face anything down there after my previous smear was so painful :/

Yes, reading it is so scary! Xx
