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

Based on what people say on this forum, failed initial attempts at endometrial biopsies are very common. Mine failed, and a month later they did a D&C, which was successful. Other people here have said that their Dr had them put a pill of misoprostol in their vagina prior to the biopsy, which apparently softens the cervix to enable the biopsy.
Have your doctors tried either of these?

The gave me 2 pills 800 mgs to dilate cervix. It didn't dilate. Put me under general anesthesia which relaxes muscles, didn't work. Lol. So like I said waiting fir MRI results, doctor will then advised. I'm just afraid - I don't want to rush and have doctor do partial hysterectomy and God forbid something develops later on. I've had 3 spinal fusions, 1 hip replacement 10 months ago which I'm still recovering. Do tired of hospitals/doctors 🙏🙏
