Finally!

[Patsy33]

I went into hospital yesterday morning for hysteroscopy & biopsy, under general anaesthetic. At last, after being cancelled 4 weeks ago...
I was told after, it looked very suspicious and sent for an urgent histology. If its whats they suspect, we're talking full hysterectomy. I was a bit upset, but was told it's very curable. Anyway, the results might be back 7-10 days. I was told will have to have CT scan too.
Just needed to share as I feel a bit shocked. Hoping they're wrong! :-)

I hope they are wrong too but a good friend of mine had a hysterectomy under similar circs more than 20 years ago and is completely fine.

So did my wife, and it didn't stop her shouting at me!
She's been fine ever since :-)

a couple of people I know have had hysterectomies and have been fine. (They didn't even get aluminium replacements...)

Patsy at least it’s done now! Am sure you will be absolutely fine but while you wait for your results you’ve got us xx

[Patsy33]

Thanks for your replies. Means a lot x

[anneasquith]

* told it’s very curable * I doubt that information would be given to you patsy if not true. Obviously more treatment may be required , good luck .

[Tilly2]

Pleased to hear that you are now being attended to Patsy, after your cancellation. Best wishes to you. x

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you are a step nearer knowing and whatever the outcome you'll have support here.x

I don't know how old you are Patsy33, but hysterectomies are no big deal now, I had one 20 odd years ago, recovered fine.

[Patsy33]

I'm 64 Samurasian..

[Samuraisan]

Well then you won't be wanting any more babies. Don't worry, they don't do it like the used to when my mother had it done 60 years ago. You will recover quickly and then it's all over.

[Patsy33]

Yes. If I have to have it done, hopefully it will be key hole surgery.

[LadyCG]

Thinking of you xx

[Bobbisox1]

Patsy, I had mine over 30 years ago when they kept you in hospital for a 10 day period, the operation is much more routine now , my friend recently had keyhole surgery and was out in 48 hours, you'll be fine , I can assure you , try not to worry too much xx

[Old_Geezer]

Good luck with it all.

[Calicogirl]

I'm sure everything will be fine Patsy, it's not a massive operation nowadays I don't think and you'll be right as rain in no time. Meanwhile lots of love and hugs x

[Patsy33]

Thank you all.x
I know it's not as bad as it was years ago. Thank goodness!

[marval]

Glad you are getting it looked at last Patsy. I hope all is well for you.

[Patsy33]

Thank you Marval.x

A CT scan is routinely done prior to surgery in place of a chest x-ray and to make sure no other tests, apart from blood and urine, are needed. Try not to worry too much.
