Endometrial thickness 19mm

My story so far

Had scans etc in September 2020 and it showed 19mm thickening. Biopsy was showing no signs of cancer but was showing evidence of polyp. Hysteroscopy couldn't be performed properly due to intensive scar tissue (not sure where from as never had surgery)

October 2020 was phone consultation, choice given to try again as might have been fault with what she called "the telescope" as it was just showing blackness (thus was not the case and I don't know where this info came from), come in and investigate under general anaesthetic (too risky with covid) or another call in 8 weeks to assess bleeding etc. There hadn't been any other bleeding so I went with phone call.

 

December phone call lead to option of trying hysteroscopy again, this time consultant to do rather than hysteroscopy nurse.

 

Had that on Tuesday of this week. It wasn't the consultant but she was "sent for" and came in to look. She went to check notes as she was trying to "understand the delay" in getting me back in

 

2 pots of samples were taken for urgent biopsy and I am now waiting for them to get results as she will then get me back in to discuss the "plan of attack".

 

Absolutely terrified now - am I jumping the gun or does everything I've described mean its bad news?

 

I'm 53 with no family history - only had one bleed and wasn't even going to ring doctors. 

 

Would like to know I'd anyone has any advice or experience to share. 

 

Thank you for reading my very long rant x

    Morning

    Have you had any results yet ??

    i am in a similar situation .

    although i feel everything is happening so quickly.

    i had a post menopausal bleed a christmas, within 2 weeks I had seen the doctor for an internal check up .

    all seemed well but she Sent me for a scan just to double check

    that scared the life out of me. , he was very candid made a few hmmm and arrrs but didn't say much except id like to do wn internal scan if that's ok?  I said if course but why ?? Ohhh just to get a better look around ? He was very vaigue with his answers .except the usual we will be in touch within 2 weeks.

    sooo fast forward 10 days ok later doctor rings..  my endometrial thickness was 14mm and soo she was referring me to hospital for a biopsy ?? 
    got my appointment within another 10 days and off i went when i got th

    here she had the scan pictures and asked could she also do a hysteroscopy . It wasn't that bad just uncomfortable, and they were so lovely.

    sooo another 2 week wait .. but within a few days i had a cooy of a letter from hospital to my doctor saying everything looked healthy aoart from the 14 mm thickening(cervix ect was healthy) but she has found a slight thickening on the posterior uterine wall and had taken a biopsy , she said the endometrium looked proliferative and if the endometrial biopsy was benign she would dudd as charge me from her care ? Guess what 2 weeks wait for results.

    so now im feeling slightly better about things . Until  3 days ago i had 2 letters on the same day telling me that my appointment was being brought forward fom march to feb then second letter another week forward .. what appointment? I hadnt had one .. so I phoned and all they told me was that she wants to discuss my results?

    now I am really worried .. its got to be something ? Or surely they'd just talk over the phone? I mean we are still in a lockdown!

    Sooo im going this Thursday 18th feb? And to be fair excpecting the worst.

    what was your outcome?  Are you ok ?
