so just had a scan and was told have endometrial thickness of 9mm, I have had some lower pain and brown dishcharge that smelt.. Had a biopsy done today now it’s the waiting game. I am really worried..
Hi I have just been for a biopsy today the lining thickness was 13.5 I'm worried sick I don't know what to do to cope till the results come back next week...have you had your results back? Take care T x
Thickened endometrium can be the result of other things beside cancer so keep an open mind if you can. My endometrium was 16mm when I had my scan in April. Now mine was a results of endometrial cancer but if caught early it is very treatable. I had a full hysterectomy, lymph nodes removed and three sessions of internal radiotherapy, finishing in early October. I’m now on four monthly check ups and living life to the full, having just returned from a fanatic, two week cruise to the Canary Islands,
Waiiting for results for me was the most difficult and stressful, once I knew and a plan was explained to me things settled. I tried to keep busy and distract myself but eventually I saw my gp who prescribed a low dose of diazepam I took only one a day of the six I could take but it did the trick. Once I had my results I did not need them. When all else failed the people on here were and still are very supportive.
Im sending a virtual squeeze from my hand to yours and hoping your results are good.
I have just been told by my gp my endometrium is 16mm thick and i am being fast tracked for a hysteroscopy next week. I am petrified. Does a thickness of 16mm mean it is most likely cancer? All advice and support welcome. Dont know how i will be able to wait a week for the examination
I had a hysteroscopy done last year they took a biopsy of the lining and also the polyp. Thankfully all samples were clear of any abnormalities. And i was advised that at this stage even if there were any abnormalities there were options we could take ( unlike my GP who was so unsupportive).
Whilst they performed they hysteroscopy they also inserted the mirena coil which is a hormonal coil releasing small amounts of hormone which prevents further thickening of the uterine wall.
I have basically summarised everything. My journey was a lot awful from start to end. Not in terms of hospital staff, they were wonderful but generally by my GP, then the endless waiting for tests and results etc. I had 2 hysteroscopys , 2 biopsies spinal injection to numb me waist down. I used to live on this forum looking for answers and support. I found everyone very supportive.
If you want to ask me any questions please feel free to do so, i will be more than happy to help
Good luck.......you have indicated you have a thickness of 9mm well my thickness was 15mm.
Thank you Nikki for posting all about your journey. It is reassuring to read, like you I've been reading lots of threads etc and finding out that there are many women who are/have been investigated for irregular bleeding.
My periods went crazy in March, basically I've had 5 in ten weeks and the 5th one is still going. All this bleeding is exhausting!
Having a hysteroscopy this afternoon after my the scan should that my linning was 15mm and contained lots of tiny cysts.
So hoping I get some answers from today and then waiting on my biopsy results.
Its so refreshing to see im not the only one worrying about this issue.
I had a subtotal hysterectomy 6 years ago and had a bleed and excruciating bad pain in March, just before lock down. I was sent for two internal prob scans and revealed an endometrial thicking of 13mm. I've been on HRT oestrogen only for 6 years and due to lock down and not being able to be seen by anyone I was advised to take progesterone as well as the oestrogen until im seen. After 6 weeks the pain and bloating became unbearable and took myself off the progesterone.
We're now nearly in August, hot sweats are out of control, anxiety has resulted in me being off work for 3 weeks and stomach an back pains are still looming.
I'm terrified of whats happening inside my body.
Is there anyone out there that has had this issue after a hysterectomy?
