Hi Helen,
How are you? I hot the results of the transvaginal ultrasound.
1: Uterine solitary fibroid 2 cm.
2: Endometrial lining markedly
thickened 2.4 cm concerning gor carcinoma, with increased blood flow. Hysteroscopy recommended.
3: No adnexal masses with ovaries visually obscured.
Still haven't heard back regarding result. I work for my primary doctors office. The radiology place sent report directly to me in a text message. Thank God I did have professionals to go to about this. I was literally shaking.
My own doctor and gyn doctor have not called me. My own doctor works in our off campus office. I have not even met the gyn doctor. I am sooo nervous.
Anyway thank you in advance for reading this. Trish

@tishie58 I know how stressful and alarming it is to see results before you have talked with the doctor. In my case, I also had to "sit" with the results over the weekend and it was really difficult. I kept imagining the worst case scenario however I also reminded myself that I would be taken care of by my medical team.
Since you work in your primary care doctor's office hopefully the doctor will be back on Monday and you can discuss these results. With the thickened endometrial lining the radiologist's report includes the words "concerning for carcinoma" because that's a possibility. I've also been told (by my husband who is a pathologist) that these words are meant to get the referring physician's attention to move to the next steps which would include hysteroscopy and to take a biopsy at that time.
What are you doing this weekend to take care of yourself? Do you have any practices that you enjoy and are helpful like meditation, yoga, exercise?

@tishie58 :
Please consider reaching out to another doc to get to the bottom of this report. You should not be left hanging, waiting for the other shoe to drop, meanwhile anxiety and fear are mounting. If you have reason to be concerned then treatment in short order should be taken —perhaps elsewhere!!
