Hi all. I was given the all clear from breast cancer 8 years ago - I'm 57 now. Ive been on tamoxifen since then.
I had a small bleed 5 weeks ago - just the once - and the Dr referred me to gyno. The consultant had a check and found nothing untoward but couldn't access my uterus to take the routine biopsy as she couldn't get through my cervix!! Anyway, I was sent for an ultrasound the following week. Nothing was said and now, nearly 3 weeks later Ive been recalled to the gyno consultant. The letter says they might do an ultrasound - might do a hysteroscopy - might do a biopsy (must have forgotten how they failed last time). Also says that i might want to bring someone along with me to the appointment - the letter didnt say that for the first appointment. This will be nearly 4 weeks after the ultrasound.
As is usual for me, I can see nothing but upcoming doom. The trauma of the breast cancer diagnosis has left me in fear of the sight of a Macmillan nurse and I am fearing the worst as usual.
I can only assume that something has shown up on the ultrasound, but the letter reads like a routine 'we might do this. we might do that' type letter.
Is it possible that this is just a routine dscussion of the ultrasound results? I know from my CT scans 8 years ago that fibroids were present.
I find these letters to be so so vague and unhelpful. I wish they would just say what they can see and why they want to see me. Or just ring me!!!!
Has anyone been in a simillar situation?
