@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?

Thank you Helen! It's getting harder with each step. I tend to freeze. Like right now. I want to say more but the words aren't coming. For now I can just acknowledge your kindness and thank your husband for his expertise. Very helpful. Trish
