And I'm 39 also.  So you and I are now both "waiting".  Please keep me updated! eileenrene Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 9/27/2007 eileenrene wrote:Wow, I just got back from my Ultrsound today and they said the same thing to me, super thick lining, painful periods beyond belief and she measured a polyp or somthing to have it sized or whatever and said the Dr. would "call me" after looking at the Ultrasound, plus she asked me if my doctor had done a endometrial biopsy or something like that on me, and when I told her no, she said he will more then likely have to do that, she also said even after 15 years she's never seen a lining so thick.

I'm sorry. I hope otherwise everything turns out okay. I'm still waiting for the doctor to call me back and tell me what he wants to do, etc.  I hope you can get another cancellation appointment and get all your surgerie(s) done sooner.  Please email me at --Message edited by CancerCompass staff.

I will update you on the diagnosis, the doctor wanted me in as soon as possible so I guess that's good. eileenrene Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT
