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'.

  • Hi and welcome.

    ive been through this process and the waiting for results is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m a teacher of over 40 years, a stressful job but nothing matches this wait.

    peopke on this site are great and very supportive. I found my best support joining in an off topic chat then sent personal messages to some of te participants, they have all been wonderful. My strength.

    i waited three weeks for my results and I know that my mind sank the depths one minute and was hopeful the next.

    my results were not brilliant but not the worst I’d imagined. The biopsy showed low grade cancer cells in the womb lining but there are so many other reasons for issues. I have an MRI next week with s follow up appointment and a hysterectomy. I found that the specialist nurse and my GP have been very supportive and that there is also a lot out there to support us whatever the outcome.  People on this site are top of that list of support.

     

    keep us informed of what happens. I have sent a friend request to you. Personal message me if you want to and I will respond. Ask questions and I’ll try to answer from my experience. But most of all just say what you think or feel if that helps.

  • I found your letter so encourageing, thank you!  I was actually relieved to hear what you said about them booking you in for a hysterectomy aftter your biopsy showed low grade cancer cells.  I  am still waiting for my biospy results, I was given the impression that they didnt expect to find anything, but they must have had some suspicions or they wouldnt have carried out the biopsy, right?

    The trouble is, my biggest fear is that they wont find anything! Sounds bizarre I know, but I am suffering with all the symptoms and if they turn around and say there is nothing wrong, I think I will scream! So here I am, hopeful, that they may find something small, that can be dealt with quickly.
