Endometrial Ultrasound findings and next step suggestions

This morning I heard from the hysteroscopy scheduling Nurse. They have cancelled all elective procedures which require an irrigation solution due to the Baxter Plant being off-line. I am on the list, which is probably long. My guess is sometime next year I will get an appointment. So frustrating!!

@beebe I was advised to stop Estradiol (vaginal) after I was diagnosed with endometrial (endometroid adenocarcinoma, Grade 1, Stage 1a) that was estrogen positive. That was five years ago. The Estradiol worked very well for me and my gynecologist told me (and reading scientific articles confirmed) that vaginal estrogen is safe because so little of it is actually absorbed within the blood stream. It is applied topically. Anyway, after diagnosis that all changed. I now use a product recommended by my radiation oncologist. It is only sold online and is on the expensive side but it works for me.

I like to use the suppositories because they are less messy. There are other good products that you can purchase in your local stores such as Target. I was advised to use a product that contains hyaluronic acid. Here is another product I have used and still use externally (to the vulva):

Just got a phone call from the scheduling Nurse who had previously sent an email telling me there would be a delay in scheduling me due to the shortage of irrigation fluid . To my surprise she called me this afternoon and said that a supply had arrived and I was the first person on her list!! So I got scheduled for late January, which is sooner than I expected, and I am so relieved:)
It will be an in-office hysteroscopy so I hope my pelvic bones and uterus relax enough for good results. The Nurse explained the cervical softening suppository and the pain killer that would be used. Once I had the appointment it was like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Guess you do not know how much something is weighing on you until it is gone.

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.

@beebe This is bad news and something you don't want to discover on your own. That must have been quite a shock to you.

I read in another discussion that you saw your results on Dec 20 which was the same day as the biopsy. You haven't heard from your provider who performed the biopsy. This is inexcusable. It once happened to me over a July 4 holiday and even though my results were negative (breast biopsy) I was very upset to hear nothing back for over a week. The provider may or may not be away but someone else in that practice should have been in contact with you for next steps. On the other Discussion you wrote that you did self refer and have a phone appointment on January 6.

Will you let me know how the January 6 phone appointment goes and if and when you have appointments scheduled at Mayo?
