Uterine biopsy not enough tissue extracted: Now What?

I am definitely going to seek care elsewhere. I fortunately live near two very good university hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area, and will seek further followup at Stanford as soon as their new patient office opens in the morning at the Gynecology clinic. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some answers and help there. I'm just pretty frustrated with how this was all handled, and know that I need to be pretty pro-active about getting what I believe I need. I just hope that if a hysteroscopy and D& C is the next step, there will be enough tissue left over to test. that is my worry at this point. At my age, if there is any abnormality/pre-cancer noted, it would be my choice to get a hysterectomy. But, I know that is not a simple care-free procedure and I definitely need some good guidance.

@tclare15 Yes, you do have some very good choices of other clinics in the Bay Area. I'm thinking you had an endometrial biopsy in the your gynecologist's office? If that's the case it's likely that only a small piece of tissue was removed and so more testing should be possible. I agree that you'll need to advocate for yourself and I think with your persistence you will get better care and guidance. My brother receives his cancer surveillance care at Stanford and he's been very pleased with his doctor and the clinic.
