Hysteroscopy experiences AT MAYO specifically

My hysteroscopy did not go well, very painful, so we ended up with a pipelle biopsy.
Bad news for me. Was searching for information on my last colonoscopy and found my lab results for the pipelle biopsy.
The tumor cells demonstrate morphology consistent with endometrial
serous carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry for p53 shows diffusely
positive (aberrant) staining. p16 is also diffusely positive,
consistent with the diagnosis. Prognostic immunohistochemistry shows
weak positive staining for estrogen receptor (ER) estimated at 20%.
Progesterone receptor (PR) is negative. Her2 is 0+ (0-3+ scale).
I think this means I need a hysterectomy where they will stage the cancer and determine my fate. My Doctor must be on vacation as I have not heard from her and the lab results were posted Dec 20th, the same day as the procedure. I think I will fill out the Mayo clinic self referral information and not wait for my Doctor's referral.

It is a shame that the doctor or someone from their office has not responded to you. Hopefully you will get an update after holidays.

Yes, you can definitely self-refer yourself to Mayo in addition to provider referring you. Once you talk to someone at Mayo, they can assist you with how to send medical records.

Here is link to request an appointment:

Do you know what location you will be requesting appointment at?
