Endometrial Biopsy: I’m terrified, what can I expect?

I had a biopsy several decades ago because I began spotting blood. The only pain I felt during the biopsy
was some cramping, nothing worse than some hard cramping during my menstrual cycle. The biopsy
only lasted, from what I recall, a very short time, a few minutes, and it's over. I can't imagine why
your doctor frightened you by saying what he did. I did have end up having endometrial cancer, and had a full hysterectomy . Six and a half years later, I had a metastasis, much to everyone's surprise. But the good news is
that was back in 2002, well over 20 years ago. So take one day at a time and don't overthink it because from my experience, most of what I worry about doesn't happen and if it does, you deal with it and come out fine. I have a very strong faith and rely on that. It's really the only thing that I can count on and trust. My best to you.

Thanks, Chrissiebee, for sharing your story. Wow - you had a metastasis over 20 years ago and you're still going strong. That's awesome. That is a good point - most of what we worry about doesn't even happen. I'm surprised this is taking such a toll on me but I think it's just that it's been taking so long. By the time I go to my appt. it will be about 5 months since I was told I needed a biopsy, and it just seems to wear on me. But I need to pull myself together. I'll find out in about 3 weeks, the results. But I'm so happy to hear you're doing well. Thank you for taking the time time to respond. I appreciate it.
