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.
Dear ladies, I have had spotting for 5 days over 2 months (similar times to a period) so my gp referred me, I had a scan internal and external and all they could see was 5mm thickening.
I then had a small piece taken and have found out i need a hysteroscopy so they can see whats going on as the results showed psammoma in the serus but everything else was negative.
Can you tell me what happens when you have a hysteroscopy. I am not speaking to the consultant until 16 November and that is a telephone consultation. My GP has just given me the update.
I am 39 years old and have had abnormal periods for about a year. For 6 months they have been worse (lasting 10-14 days and the last few days I have a massive gush of blood each day). Any way went to the gynaecologist 2 weeks ago and he was rather rude. Didn't listen to a word I had said and seemed to want it over with (NHS patient referred to private hospital). He did a TVS straight away and stated that he wasn't happy and used the word sinister (that worried me). He took a biopsy (most painful thing I have had) and that was it. He showed me the scan pictures and stated that my lining was abnormally large. After this was said there was No advice on what to do after, nothing. The appointment made me feel awful and he mannerism suggested that there was more to what he wasn't saying.
Just had to wait 2-3 weeks for results.
the letter I received from him last week was full of false information. He claimed that I was 'wanting' a hysterectomy (I told him I am petrified of the thought and have cancelled 2 due to PTSD), he claimed that I wasn't on any medication (false, I am on antidepressants, iron medication, pain killers for hips and back), he claimed he had reassured me (false, I was left on my own with no information or care sheet as to what to expect after a biopsy)
The letter stated that my lining is 16mm and my left ovary had an ovulation cyst (every woman has these during certain times of their cycles).
I was petrified for 10 days but since his letter, I do not feel there is something wrong. But I worry as 16mm is on the larger side.
This thread came up as a result of a Google search - I know, worst thing I could do!
I've been told today that my endometrial thickness is 17mm and I'm being referred to gynaecology. Unfortunately my GP didn't explain what would be involved and I didn't realise it could be this serious, I feel so sick. Is this where they'll do the hysteroscopy?
ive been bleeding for 9 weeks now and sometimes it's very large clots that I can feel passing (aswell as seeing!)
What advice do you ladies have? I'm only 26 with a 10 month old and reading the thread has petrified me
Hi I completely understand you I'm 22 and had the last 2 years of being ill with my womb I have a 2 year old and 5 year old my womb lining is 19mm and I've been referred for scans and a hysteroscopy so I'm assuming you will too :) hope this helps
Hi, just wondered if anyone had any updates of what their results were?
I have been told my lining is 18mm which I know is on the larger side, been put on a 2 week wait referral to have a sample taken.
I'm quite worried would love to hear your updates, good or bad, as would be nice to know what to expect. I'm 31 with 2 children, one which we used clomid to conceive, which can increase your chances of cancer
Hi just Googled and came across this thread. I had a 10 week long heavy bleed with clots, and unable to leave the house due to the heaviness of it, became unwell so contacted Gp. Eventually sent for a ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound on a 2 week referral.
Results were Endometrial thickness 18mm and Irregular echotexture. And small cysts on both ovaries. Gp has told me not to worry, and I'm being referred to Gynaecologist, but i can't help but wonder what the outcome will be. Just hoping it's not sinister. I'm 42 and believe im perimenopausal.
This group appears to be very supportive and encouraging.
