Hi @debra54, I moved your latest question about testing for possible gynecologic cancer to your original posting here:
- Suspected Endometrial Cancer: Cervix won't open to do biopsy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/endometrial/

I did this so that you can stay connected with the women who have been supporting you in the anxious time of diagnosis.

@naturegirl5 shared some useful information about PET scans and MRIs of the pelvis and uterus in this earlier comment https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/806755/
PET scans and MRIs may be used in the diagnosis of uterine cancer or to see the entire pelvic region to check neighboring areas.
