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.

Nikki sorry forget simething, Before being referred for hystwroscopy , I went to see private specialis gaenocologyst in London, coz I was scared after US report , that Dr after consultation he done some examination to see the womb maybe Im not sure, and he say to me and my husband that Is not C , amd recomendet hysteroscopy and biopsy , I am thinking how dr know is not C word , he just did physical examination but not hystwroscopy , just confused , sorry if I sound stupid
Its normal to feel the way you're feeling and the waiting around is agonising. Once you have a hysteroscopy they will take a biopsy to confirm what the diagnosis is. Remember a person can have abnormally thickening of the endometrium without it being cancer. And even if it is a postive diagnosis there are a lot of options i.e hysterectomy etc etc.
You are right its not possible just to look at a part of the body.and confirm whether its cancer or not. A biopsy must be done to confirm cancer cells. So please please be strong, you're not on your own. Speak to the Mcmillan nurses. You need to be emotionally strong. And no you're not stupid you are an intelligent woman who is trying to hold it together for her family whilst she is confused and breaking inside
