Let me start by saying my Dad passed away 3 weeks ago due to Cancer of the vocal chords and my Mom was treated prior to that for skin cancer.
Today I went ot get an endo biopsy. I knew something was wromg whe I went ot he emergency room and the vaginal ultrasound took 45 minutes. Suffice to say that I was told I had NUMEROUS fibroids and they could not count hem all and some were blocking the scope.
Today during the biopsy the doctor said he could barely get a sample. Fibroids are blocking the uterine canal and he had a hard time getting the scope in. He also said there is fuid in the uterus and he wanted a sample of that.
He says I have no real choice but to get a complete hysterectomy. I'm Ok with it as I stopped having children at 26. Anyway, he said the results will come in within 10 days then we can make an informed decision. There is a chance the fluid will reveal a malignancy but he believes everything will be ok, he didn't look confident saying it. I work in a prison and over time have learned to read people's faces. The smile on his face didn't match the words or his eyes. I got the same impression from the first doctor who referred me to him.
I'm scared and just need some insight. I just watched my Dad suffer through this and really do not want to go through the same. Is it possible that all will be Ok and the hysto will turn out negative? That is the other thing he said. They might not be able to tell if the fibroids are malignant until after surgery because they can't get the scope in to see.
Then they will send me fro treatment.
