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?

So sorry for the news but especially how you discovered it. My oncologists have noted that only they are to release any results to the portal to prevent this from happening. Take care
