I just saw my endometrial biopsy results. Looks like high grade serous type. I went to the gynecologist in April because I saw one spot of blood. I had an ultrasound end of April and my lining was 7mm. I had my biopsy done July 9. Just saw the results on my UPMC app. They came in yesterday. I called my doctor this afternoon. I’m waiting on a return call. I am glad to have found you all.

@dobraka My situation was the same 1 year ago. Saw spot of blood, went to gynocologist and was diagnosed with Serous Endometrial Intraepithelial Carcinoma. I was shocked and terrified. Happy to share my experiences as you traverse this. Just reach out. It's quite an emotional whirlwind for me.

@dobraka Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and to our Support Group. The results from the biopsy must have been a big shock for you. Your timing from when you first noticed the spot of blood until now when you had the biopsy is about the same time line as I experienced. I was so shocked when I got the diagnosis (from my gynecologist by phone) that I took a wrong turn later in the day on the way back from his office and realized that I didn’t know where I was. And this was a well known route to me.

How did you feel when you read the results? And how are you feeling today? I’m glad you found us.

You’ve come to a good place where you will receive a lot of support and compassions from our Support Group.

I hope you get in to see your gynecologist right away. We have all learned to advocate for ourselves. Many of us have received those initial appointments too far into the future and so we’ve done the following. We ask to be put on a wait list in case of a cancellation from another patient. We call the office a few times a week, in the morning, asking if there is an earlier appointment we can get.

I found it’s helpful to have another set of “ears” in my appointments. When I’m upset or nervous I miss things. I make a list of what I want to talk with the doctor about Is there someone who can go to your appointment with you?
