Endometrial Biopsy: I’m terrified, what can I expect?
Gynecologic Cancers | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (114)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I did have bleeding and my thickness was a 10 after the transvaginal ultrasound. They wanted to do the same biopsy, but I told them absolutely not and they were going to have to knock me out. My doctor agreed to do a D&C. Which in my particular situation was good because they found the endrometrioid carcenoma 1-1/2 weeks ago. I have to have a hysterectomy but don't know anything other than the cancer is the common kind. My 1st Oncologist appt is in 5 days. (see if your doctor will give you the option of a D&C if you're able).

@acorvettemom Well done advocating for yourself and having a D&C instead of the endometrial biopsy without sedation. Like you, I got the diagnosis of endometroid adenocarcinoma after the D & C. It was a huge shock to get that diagnosis. I asked for a referral to Mayo Clinic since my rural area does not have anyone who specializes in gynecological cancers. I got in to Mayo Clinic within a few days after diagnosis and had the hysterectomy the following week.
Your oncology appointment is coming up soon. I'd suggest writing your questions down before your appointment and taking someone with you. In retrospect I'm relieved that I did both of those because I was anxious and frightened when I went to the appointment with the GYNOncologist for that first time.
Do you have any other suggestions for our members?

This is good to know - to advocate for being knocked out. So sorry to hear about your carcinoma. You must be terrified. Wishing you all the best at your oncologist appointment coming up. I'm still waiting for my biopsy results. I'm glad you shared, it really helps me knowing all sorts of alternatives. But I am sorry your results show carcinoma.
