Hi there, I'm new to all this and just looking for someone who's experienced this and what their outcome was.
I have been on my period for over 6 weeks. Last Wednesday, I went in for a uterine biopsy (OUCH!!) and a few days later landed in the ER due to extreme bleeding. I was passing blood clots and tissue the size of baseballs. The ER doctors did a pelvic exam and a transvaginal ultrasound. I was told I was anemic (due to blood loss), and that my endometrial lining was very thick (19mm). I was sent home with iron pills and a blood clotting medicine to slow the bleeding and told to follow up with my OB immediately. I had a follow up appointment with my regular OB yesterday and was told I would need a hysterectomy the week after next. She also said she was rushing me for a hysteroscopy and D&C tomorrow morning. She said I don't necessarily "fit the stereotype" of endometrial or uterine cancer but there is a possibility of finding malignancies during my surgery tomorrow. I have two good sized fibroids within my uterine walls and my uterus is enlarged. I'm only 38 years old, I'm thin, and I'm not near menopause yet.....so has anyone else my age dealt with this? I'm not necessarily panicking about the surgeries, but more so the urgency about it all. Would love to hear what others think or if anyone else has dealth with a similiar situation. Thanks so much for any info or helpful words you can all give me. :)
