Hi
I have always suffered with HA but for the last few years I have been able to keep it under control after having CBT.......
Anyhow since 2009 I have been having hassle with my periods.....which resulted in me having a scan in Jan 2012 that showed up generalized fibroids and slight thickening of the womb but my Dr was happy with that and said it is down to the perimenopause( I am 49 now)......
Fast forward til last month and my periods are lasting about 8 weeks now with no end in sight unless I take prescribed tablets to stop them.....My Dr sent me for another ultrasound (which was today) and the lady doing it wasn't as nice as last time and she said at the end when I asked her if it was ok that she could see slightly more thickening of the womb than she would like to see:weep: but that it is very common in perimenopausal women and that my Dr will probably refer me to have it checked out by a gynaecologist. I said will this be a biopsy and she said ~ooo no not necessarily they will probably just want to have a look !!!!
As you can imagine I am totally freaking out...
I also asked her if she could see anything else and she said ~*nothing that jumps out at me.*....:blush:
Soo tonight I am sat here in tears after googling "thickening of the lining of the womb" and nearly every article mentions cancer...
I hope someone can give me some advice.....I am gonna try and call my GP tomorrow as they said they fax the results over the same day to your surgery..
Thanks everyone xxx
