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, I’m new in here and just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain in respect of your husband.   I wished so much that they sold empathy at Asda as I would go and buy them out of it all for mine.  

    I hope you have your results by now ? 

    I had an endometrial biopsy Friday , then my partner allowed me to drive to Scarborough , as he was tired. He watched me pick up boxes in the rain and then when I woke him at 3 in the morning as I was gushing blood (like pad filled from having walked 10 metres from the toilet) and massive clots - he told me he had a migraine !!  Whilst I accept migraines are not very nice , at least he knew what was happening to him ! I answered he needed to find me the health phone number and I telephoned 111 who sent an ambulance and I was admitted to hospital.  I was discharged that evening having being given clotting meds and scan . He was sympathetic for the night and the following day sent to have forgot. I feel so lonely and yes, like you, like I am making a fuss out of nothing . 

    I had already come to the conclusion that I need to get my emotional support from friends but sometimes I just need a hug . Your not alone there and I send you a hug x 

  • Here's a hug for you too.

    I got my results last Tuesday. I was Stage 1a, grade 1. I dont need any Radiotherapy. Just hospital appointments for the next 3 years and then I can say I'm cancer free. I need my energy to care for my hubby 

    Take care xx

  • PS

    Have you got your results yet xx

  • Hi kezyt sorry not been in touch I’m still waiting for results to com back had hysteroscopy done on 30th July which seems to have triggered a monthly bleed to which I ended up back at hospital twice because they didn’t know what was going on they were bothered about how much blood I was losing and that I could collapse at anytime so my husband was then panicking, had to stay on tranexamic acid for nearly 2 half weeks can not take any other meds because I’ve had breast cancer so they have now decided that they are going to endometrial ablation to hopefully sort out the heavy bleeding there abit reluctant to do hysterectomy because it would be a major operation for me,my hubby is quite a bit better than he was think he got abit of shock from the fact I could of collapsed which I think scared him and he seems to be a bit more understanding about it all now, have now got an appointment through to talk to somebody about the next step the endometrial ablation have to go back through the system now because I was discharged (what a joke). Anyway bleeding has stopped for time being so don’t mind waiting but everything is waiting game and I’m not the most patient person in the world, I hope you’re feeling better hugs from me to you aswel.xx

  • 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.

  • Hi Sundial

    Its a little strange isnt it, hoping they find something. But I feel like a live in a parallel universe and that I am making it up as to how bad i feel.  ANyway, heres to hoping there are small things that can be dealt with quickly :)

    I am going for my results on Friday 

  • HI, hope your feeling a little better still.  My bleeding has finally stopped, after three months and I feel a little better. Keep popping the iron tablets for anemia though.   I get my results on Friday and I am hoping we will discuss the next way forward for me.  Glad your other half has stepped up to the mark - mine did for a few days lol but seems to have forgotten again now !.  Anyway, been to see a fair few of my girl friends last week so lots of hugs all round. 

    I hope yur waiting list isnt to long and i wish you well

  • Hi all, I had my biopsy 4 weeks ago and just received a letter yesterday. I was hoping it was the results but instead it is another appointment to see the same specialist who did the biopsy. Now my heart is in my mouth thinking of the worst case. My appointment is on the 22nd of October, nearly 2 weeks away. Has anyone any advice as to how I can keep positive and upbeat plz plz, many thanks. PS Im trying to think well it can't be bad as I'm not bleeding and in pain any more xx

  • Hi Sharon14

    i got my results recently, same as you I had to wait two weeks so I understand your anxiety and good news - all clear for endometrial cancer. I have other diagnosises yhough (these were diagnosed by scans) and tbh am still bleeding terribly 5 months in, terrible pain so I will be having an hysterectomy on Saturday - and wow does that feel like a Christmas gift for me as I have tried everything.  Try not to feel anxious (easy said I know) but it is not unusual for the same consultant to call you back to give results and yes, good news about your bleeding too . Keep busy, keep talking about it if that helps and take all the support you can . Wish you well x

  • Aw huni, thx so so much for replying, I was beginning to think I was on my own, stupid I know. Fingers crossed for the best results for you. Can I just ask, with your vaginal bleeding did you have pain in your thighs and hips too. The doctor prescribed me Temazipam, which I have stopped taking as I was feeling a lot bettre, but since sunday the pain has come back again, I did'nt even tell my Mum. It just feels like my lower half of my body is trying to fall out, I know it sounds weird but that's the only way I can describe it. Any views hun or opinions for anyone else, would love some rational feedback to stop my brain going 110 miles an hour xx
