Wow, Lisa, our situations are so similar. My doctor thought my abdominal pain was IBS but wanted to be sure so sent me for tests. They found no reason for the pain but discovered the 6mm thickness. I have no bleeding either. Interesting about the D and C. Are you opting to get a hysterectomy?

Initially a hysterectomy was my plan, and I had met with my surgeon. After I got the biopsy results, I decided against a hysterectomy, and will just monitor it
I’ve had complications with every one of my abdominal surgeries since my cancer diagnoses, and have a lot of scar tissue built up. So doing an elective hysterectomy just didn’t make sense for me, compared to the risks of complications. Had the biopsy revealed cancer, my surgeon would have done the surgery no matter how challenging. But the thought of a fifth open surgery in five years is too much for me. Good luck with your biopsy. I’m glad you have a doctor who gives you medication to help alleviate discomfort.
