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 hysteroscopy done yesterday and had two biopsy’s taken cause she didn’t think she had enough, omg I can tolerate quiet abit of pain but that was horrendous I was doing abit of shouting she said if  they needed more tissue samples they have to it under general anaesthetic next time, my husband doesn’t seem to no wat all the fuss about like I’ve had a stroll in the park and I’ve graised  my knee, I’ve cried non stop since yesterday because I think I’m over reacting about it as well maybe it’s just shock...

  • Sorry to hear of your horrendous experience, I had mine done under GA.

    Hope you feel better soon. Men don’t understand.

    fingers crossed for the best result.

    Sending a hug. x

  • Thank you jan55 that was nice of you to reply x

  • I’d send him this https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hysteroscopy/

    It might help him understand how you’re feeling! 

    I had a general anaesthetic as I had other stuff done too. Only just feeling back to normal and that’s a week later. On top of the physical pain there’s the waiting for results!!! 

    Hope you’re ok, sounds like an awful experience. 

    Sending love x

  • Thank you daisydoo it really wasn’t nice and I can tolerate quite abit of pain have had 3 children and 1 was a ceaseran but that was just horrendous.x

  • that's so wrong Helen, mine was also to painful but they did stop immediately and were really good, had to have it done under GA a week later, suppose it is really a post code lottery depending on were you live  but no way after all we go through should it be that painful, 

    the 2 week wait for the results seemed to drag on forever with me, such a relief to find out in the end (even though the results were not good) I just hated the not knowing.

    anyway Helen good luck with the results really hope they are clear 

    ps and tell you other half to imagine him having a vasectomy without anaesthetic 

  • dont get me wrong they were lovely nurses and very supportive they took the first sample and she didnt think she had enough so she did ask me if they could take another one and i just said yes ok, but they also said that if they didnt get what they needed they would have to give me general anesthetic if results come back not so good so will have to wait and see what happens i hate waiting!!!!!!!

  • Yes the waiting is very stressful!
