Waiting for biopsy results - Uterine Cancer

I have just started the agonising wait for results. Had a hysteroscopy on Saturday and was told it should be 2 weeks. I am quite a strong person but this is going to be hard. Of course I know that it could be fine but I went to my GP in January and it is now April. Even if the results are clear I still have to have all the polyps removed under a 'general'.

  • Had 1 today, n was in severe pain all the way through, they say it should be painless, yet I'd got two nurses fanning me with bedpans as I'd gone pure white n was sweating because of the pain I was in, I'm dreading my results but not because of their outcome, because I'm absolutely terrified of having a procedure like that done again, my doctor said I'd had aneasetic, but I felt that much pain surely it should of been stopped as that's what you quote ? I'd rather them operate to remove anything they find, than to go through that again. Am I the only 1 who feels this bad ?

  • aw that's so wrong to be in so much pain like that, I had a hystercopy (not sure if it's the same as what you had ) but also found it extremely painful so they had to stop, and booked me in to have it done under general, then had to wait 2 weeks for biopsy results, unfortunately I was diagnosed with endomital cancer had a full hysterectomy 2 weeks later, luckily it was only stage 1 and my doctor told me they had removed all the tumour but cancer cells remain so start a course if radiotheraphy  in 2 weeks time when hopefully I will be cancer free

    it is a very worrying time and last few weeks have been a bit of a blur with my op and the all the meds so maybe next time I go I will be able to ask more and take it all in.

    just such a shame it was very painful for you, and dont really understand why they continued and did not give you an option to have a general good luck and hope your biopsy results come back soon and everything is okay
