Hello Kelsey
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some health problems for a while now. It sounds positive that the Consultant is trying to get to the bottom of what's causing your symptoms. 

It might give you some reassurance to know that most women diagnosed with womb cancer have had their menopause. And almost three quarters of cases of womb cancer are in women aged 40 to 74. Just over 1 in 100 cases (1%) are diagnosed in women under 40. 

It's natural to be worried whilst waiting for biopsy results and I do hope that you don't have to wait too long to hear from the Consultant. 

Best wishes,

Hi Jenn

Thank you for your reply and for the reassurance about womb cancer. For the past couple of years I've been really panicked about the situation incase the worst is yet to come. I've gone through most of it alone but still have some slight hope it ain't nothing sinister. 

How long would you expect the wait for the biopsy results to take? I can't entirely remember whether the consultant told me :neutral:

Thanks,

Kelsey

Hi KelseyL,

I'm currently going through the same situation as you, 

I'm also waiting on results I had the procedure on Wednesday 26th July 2020, my consultant said the results can take 2 or 3 weeks to come back.

I've also got to have a polyp removal under general anesthetic that also should be in around 2 to 3 weeks. 

I'm the same as you really nervous. Take care and keep us updated with results xx

Hi Emzie003! 

I hope your procedure went well and you're recovering! :happy: Thanks for letting me know about the result times your consultant mentioned to you - I presume all waiting times are similar.

Fingers crossed for you during your polyp removal. I'll keep this thread updated. Thank you and all the best to you too!  ️ xx

Thank you huni, 

I won't lie it hurt alot, but I hope all goes well with you as well, it is a worrying time for everybody though, 

I was due to have the biopsy done in March but due to covid it got cancelled which was understandable I'm just glad that things are moving a little bit now. 

I do know how serious covid is as I've worked with it through out the pandemic as well. 

Much love to everyone who is waiting on results xxx

You're more than welcome!

My keyhole surgery afterwards was and still is very painful. My wounds are slowly healing but having problems with stitches poking through but I put it down to me being underweight. I'm completely clueless with wounds etc. :laugh:

Hopefully things will progress for you and you'll eventually have a cause for your problems! 

I agree, much love to yourself and to all the other brave women awaiting results!  ️ xxx

That's such a long time for recovery. Hopefully the soreness will ease before then though. 

Thank you so much! Would you recommend me to go and see a nurse at my local Doctors about my stitches poking through? xx
