Suspected Endometrial Cancer: Cervix won't open to do biopsy

They tried but cervix wouldn't open to get biopsy . Was just told last year that I have abnormal bleeding. They see ot when they look at urine under a microscope but I recently got the " my chart" app and I've had this problem since 2016, just wasn't told.

"Cervix wouldn't open" isn't an excuse for them not to do anything. The first time they attempted a biopsy on me, the doctor had the same problem; the biopsy failed. In my case they scheduled a hysteroscopic D&C a month later. This is done under anesthesia. I think they use some sort of device to open the cervix. And I've learned from this group that it's also possible to get your cervix open enough for a biopsy by putting a certain pill in your vagina beforehand.
They should give you an option for figuring out what you have going on in there before you have to decide whether to have a hysterectomy.
