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

Posted by debra54 @debra54, Feb 1, 2023

The lining of my uterus is thick so they tried to do a biopsy but my cervix would not open and they mentioned having a hysterocmy but I'm not sure about doing that without knowing if it's cancer or not.

My endometrial wall was 13 mm
I also had stage one endometrial cancer
I just had full hysterectomy plus fallopian tubes and ovaries removed
No more cancer !

I just had uterus fallopian ovaries removed due to stage one cancer
I had 13 mm endometrium which is not good
I had some bleeding
Doctor found polyp
Hysterectomy is best treatment for me

That's what the doctor suggests, but how can they do a hysterectomy without evidence if cancer even though my thickness and spotting is of concern at my age. I've had 3 spinal fusions, 1 total hip replacement last year. I have osteosporosis, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. I'm a high risk. 🙏🙏🙏

Doctor did two tests hysteroscopy
D&C to look at inside of uterus
Which found the cancerous polyp
So I wanted full hysterectomy tubes and ovaries out
I also had vaginal bleeding at 70
That is not normal

Ok that's different they had the positive results. I just have to see what oncologist suggest. Thanks for your reply❤️
