Waiting for a biopsy and it's hell!!!

Had a call from the Dr yesterday saying I'm being fast tracked for a biopsy as my womb is very thick...I wish Dr's were able to speak human as I'm just full of fear! I've not been able to eat or sleep since the phone call and I hate that my children are aware that something is going on Its the waiting!!! I can't deal with it!!!! I'm on constant edge...I feel scared and alone

  • Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Firstly you are not alone. There are lots of us here, many having been where you are now. Scared is ok too. We’ve been there too. It is scary because fast track in our minds spells danger. But that’s not always true. Fast track means let’s have a look and if it’s somethinfg serious we can deal with it early. Thickened womb lining can be caused by lots of things other than cancer. However if they find cancer, there is plenty that can be done.

    i was diagnosed with endometrial ( womb) cancer in April this year, after an abnormal bleed. They found my lining was thicker than usual but also detected cancer cells after biopsy. It was a huge shock and I thought I’d never get over it...but I have. I’ve had a hysterectomy, pelvic lymph nodes removed and tested and three sessions of internal radiotherapy. I go for my treatment follow up next week. I’ve just had a lovely two weeks cruising in the sun and feel fit and well, if sometimes a little tired. I’m me again! 

    So don’t think the worst but if it is cancer, the medics have found it early and can deal with it. Be prepared for things to happen quickly but time to slow down. It’s usual. Let yourself be scared and to worry but try not to let it take over your life. Keep busy with things you love to do and people you love to be with 

    I hope everything goes well with your appointment. If you want to ask any questions just fire away. If you want to just talk or vent or scream and shout go ahead. We are all here to listen and support.
