Polyp & cervical biopsy twice & no diagnosis

I assumed that with the polyp removal (3 weeks ago), that my tummy would go down & the aches go away, but my symptoms have become much worse. I have had 2 biopsies buttold that there was in-sufficient tissue to obtain a prognosis but that the consultant has no concerns because it looked alright so no need for further appointments. Now I do not know if my symptoms are anything to do with my uterus or ovaries, but no one seems concerned . So after a nurse suggested I measure & keep a diary of symptoms to show the doctor Istarted writing it down yesterday. 9.30am stomach measures 41 inches, after work it measured 43 then 44 at 7.14pm & 46 inches at 10.10pm. Urine out put 16 times during the day, food intake yogurt, half a roll of cheese & salad & have trouble eating. My lovely fiancé bought me some larger clothes for comfort & to cheer me up. No one is listening to me & I feel so abandoned by the medical profession as if I am a fraud. Actually don’t want to speak to the medical profession without my partner as an advocate. Had phone conversation with GP who doesn’t trust the c125 test that I had which showed a raised marker & the original reason I was examined& wants to blood test me for thiroid & diabetes’s. My symptoms seem to be over looked & more a search for things Not related. Feeling scared & very low & especially after nurse who checked me over suggested IBS to middle age spread.

  • Thank you Steph & sorry for the ranting post. I am too emotional at the moment & probably partly hormonal & I started a diary on 1st May that I log measurements of abdomen, toilet for urine & bowel movements,weight & food/fluid intake. Saturday had 17 urine toilet runs & tummy started at 41 inches in the morning & 46 by the evening. I am struggling to eat but when I do it’s very healthy termed as ‘clean’ foods. I am getting more lower back pain & some tummy sharp twinges with feeling sick at different pain randomly during the day. I have compared the symptoms for peri menopause & ovarian cancer/cysts etc & with a constant bloated tummy & frequent urination with lack of energy the scales slant more towards OC. I will ring the cancer research nurse thank tomorrow. Thank you I so need what ever it is sorted, getting married in August. My partner is going to help be my advocate as I feel to emotionally fragile to deal with happy talk & not the proper investigation of symptoms.
