Thank you so much for your reply. My appointment is March 4th. I will absolutely come back and share what my Dr says. I didn't have a hysteroscopy or D & C. I did have an endometrial biopsy about 7 weeks before my surgery and it showed Complex hyperplasia with atypia. I was curious of what types of tests were performed and the frequency. It is such a scary time. I must say I thought once I had surgery I would be free to carry on my life and was blindsided to learn that I had cancer. I am sure most everyone who gets such a diagnosis feels this way. Thank you again!

@cmb2022 Was the endometrial biopsy performed in the office? That's what I thought my local gynecologist planned to do but he thought I was very low risk for uterine cancer so he recommended the D & C based on sonogram findings that showed endometrial thickening. Like you, I was completely blindsided by the diagnosis after the D & C. And yes, we hope for the best, don't we. Now I'm cancer survivor. I will share that the adjustment to this new perception of myself has taken time and the shock of the initial diagnosis went away quickly enough after there was a medical action plan in place. And then there is Mayo Clinic Connect which has been a lifeline for me. The support here is awesome.

Your appointment is coming up soon. March 4 is around the corner. How are you taking care of yourself?
