Get a second opinion. My first doctor did not even examine me and told me to return if I had more bleeding. I ended up getting the biopsy in her office something I would not recommend, the biopsy came back that I had uterine cancer in 2009. Hysterectomy followed. We were in Texas at the time but we moved to California. For my follow up I saw 4 doctors before I found a doctor who would use a speculum, at that time the doctor said she would use one but would be surprised if I had recurrence since there is only a 1% chance. Guess what I did. Radiation followed.
My point is don’t let any doctor be so vague this is your life and as much as terrifying as it is you have to be proactive. Good Luck.

Your story further strengthens my resolve to be clear about NOT being a "wait and see" patient. A doctor's vague dismissal as being only a 1% chance of having cancer is nothing to her, but everything to me. I'm going for 0% chance.
