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 ?

  • I had a biopsy three weeks ago today (still nervously waiting for the results) and also the merena coil fitted whilst I was there.  I too was in absolute agony even though I told him three times beforehand that I was nervous as my smear test a few months back was excruciatingly painful (cervix had tilted slightly).  He just said I would be ok, certainly not the case.  I nearly fainted due to the severity of the pain (they didn’t give me anything whatsoever for the pain)! Still got pain which my GP says it’s down to the procedure and not having any children.
