Waiting on Biopsy
I am 44 years old and have had heavy periods for a long time, but early in 2006 they got especially heavy, long and the cylce is not repeatable. During my pelvic exam by my PCP she found what she thougnt was an enlarged ovary. I had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed I had a fibroid that is pushing my uterus to the side , the uterus is enlarged and the lining is thick. The ovary is not enlarged (thank goodness), it was the uterus being pushed to the side she was feeling.
My PCP refered my to an OB GYN (the one she uses) and he performed a biopsy of the uterus. He said if the results show cancer or hyperplasia he would recommend a hysterectomy. I will get the results of the biopsy next Wed.
Meanwhile I had a abnormal mamogram that showed microcalcifications. The radioligist suggested that it is most likely benign and to come back in 6 months for another mamogram. The OBGYN referred me to a surgeon that I will see on Monday because I did not think I could wait 6 months.
My paternal grandmother had "female cancer" and later had breast cancer.
Sorry for being so long, but I needed to unload. I am anxious and having a hard time staying focused on my work

Waiting on Biopsy
I'm in there with you, Hozo! I had an abnormal pap, abnormal mamo, breast biopsy, heavy periods, and I just had a D&C, biopsy and ablation. I get my results back in 2 weeks.
Waiting is difficult!

Waiting on Biopsy
Waiting is the pits!
While you're waiting please be sure to be gentle with yourself.
What helps you wait?
I hope so much that you get all good news!
My sister-in-law is waiting now for her treatment plan for early stage breast cancer. Knowing for sure what you're dealing with and having a plan to work from if one's needed, places some of the control back into your hands. But just plain not knowing makes us feel so vulnerable and helpless.
Yet, look at you ~ being pro-active and finding out! Good for you! :for you:
Let some of that rough energy out and receive all the TLC you can.
Come by and let us wait with you all you like.

Kythe I am trying to stay busy to help me wait. I have come up with plenty of things I need to get done just in case I need surgery.
I hope your sister-in-law does not have to wait much longer on her treatment plan. Thanks for your support.

Waiting on Biopsy
The waiting is the worse. This year I had a breast lump and an enlarged ovary and an enlarged uterus. Breast lump turned out to be nothing and had everything removed below in May all turned out to be benign. There is always hope however you could not have told me that during the whole thing. All I can say is I pray you mentally get through this and the news is as good as mine LOVE
