The beginning process of diagnosing endometrial cancer

Ohhh wow Terry! I know and am sorry for what you're going through. Did you have a feeling it was positive? The waiting is the worst. Thank you so much for responding, reach out anytime, especially during the wait times. I'll do the same.

Trish, I was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome before my biopsy, so I was filled with fear when finding out I had endometrial cancer.
The gynecologist who performed the procedure knew me from my yearly checkups. She was kind and showed compassion towards me.
I was in tears because of the uncertainty. My mom has been battling the same cancer for the past six years.
The doctor’s assistant held my hand during the biopsy. That was comforting.
I'll pray that you encounter angels today and that the results return negative. 🙏💓

@tishie58 I was concentrating on you and the procedure today at 12:15 EST. I didn’t think to ask your time zone so I hope that my healing energy that I sent you was received.

Did your doctor share any information with you today? How are you feeling this evening?

I tried to respond, didn't go through I will try later.

I have had a uti every month for 4 months, it is wearing me down but the fact I hate keep taking antibiotics. I had uterus cancer in 2009 and recurrence in my vaginal cuff in 2016. I also get nausea and lower back pain but I keep up on my tests CT, MRI for breast since I have had breast cancer also. Pet scan and my blood tests I also see my gynecologist oncologist annually and my regular gynecologist annually. They are aware of my trust issues since they missed my cancer before. Just be proactive that’s all you can do and try and get through a day when your thoughts are not about cancer, it’s hard. Some of my friends think I am paranoid and a hypochondriac I don’t care.

@jeanadair123 I keep up too on my cancer surveillance appointments. All of are different in how we process and view our cancer journeys. Once I was diagnosed with cancer that knowledge changed my view of the world, my life, and my emotional outlook. With your journey you are doing everything you can to take care of yourself and I understand why your thoughts return to cancer on some days. So do mine.

@tishie58 I get so frustrated when I type a note that doesn't get through. I hope you will try again and let me know how you are feeling today?

Good Morning Helen,
I hope you are doing well today.
I am now waiting for the biopsy from Thursday, the doctor was very good to me and will be my GYN moving forward. She needed to go in 2 times. She did mention surgery will be needed but the path report needs to come back first. I didn't even get home and my primary care doctor called and told me something showed up in both my breast's on the mammogram from Wednesday. More views and ultrasound needed , possible biopsy. Overwhelming for sure. Went back to work on Friday and just lost it. Thank God I have my own little office. What a freaking shitshow I am!! Thanks for listening to me.

I'm so sorry Jean for all you've been through and are going through. I had my urology consult right after the endometrial biopsy on Thursday. He put me on an antibiotic prophylactically for the next year! Methenamine
It's called. It's specific to uti prevention. Not a broad spectrum antibiotic which is harder on the body. I also have scripts to get urine tested when I feel symptoms. Are your uti's caused by the same organism? I hope all the best for you. Trish

I just started having bleeding yesterday, so I'm behind you. My gyno is sending me for an ultrasound on Thursday and I'll have a biopsy in her office on August 2. I'm 56 and started HRT within the past year. I feel crampy too. I'll be praying for all of you who have posted. Originally from NJ, we are dual citizens now, living in Canada. Also a marathoner runner and still weigh what I did when I got married at 23. It seems that little is known about uterine cancer - we need to fix that!
