waiting for endometrial biopsy
Posted , 5 users are following.
I went to the obgyn (am 56 - post menopausal by almost two years). Coincidentally, had some spotting the day before, so she sent be for pelvic/transvag ultrasound. They found what they suspect is a 2.4 cm polyp (they said up to 2.4 cm). Now I get a biopsy on Friday and wait another week. The odds are in my favor, but I had thyroid cancer a few years ago (actually not a big deal as things go), and now I am FREAKING OUT that they will find cancer, get inconclusive results that lead to more tests, etc. And why does it take a week for a biopsy result to come in? Sorry...very anxious and venting.

Hi Mrspetty,
Praying for a conclusively clean result for you!!
And I SO HEAR YOU about how long it takes to get results in! We can put a rover on Mars and get damn near real time pictures back, but it takes a week to get results back on a biopsy? It's complete and utter crap!!
Hugs to you, let us know how it goes on Friday, and we'll be here with you waiting for results!

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. They just had a cancellation and moved the biopsy up to tomorrow morning, which is good (less waiting). Now I just have to figure out how to stop looking on the patient website to check for results every five minutes...Kathleen, I hope your recovery goes well. I would imagine 3 years of ambiguity must have really stressful.
