To be freaking out waiting for womb biopsy results ?

A few months ago I had an ultrasound due to experiencing light spotting after my periods (I'm 44) . I was advised I had a thickened womb lining and to have a hysteroscopy. I was going to pay privately and get it done immediately but was £2500 but the gynae said based on my ultrasound it was ok to wait on the nhs as she felt it was non urgent. So I decided to wait and I had it done a week ago today.

I have severe health anxiety and it's honestly destroying me, I am struggling to sleep and eat or think about anything else

I wish I'd paid private a few months ago 😩 then if was good news I'd know by now and could have moved on. or if it wasn't I'd be being treated etc

I'm going away on holiday 2 weeks today and I can't even look forward to it. I mean imagine if I've still not had the results by then or worse if it's bad news . I'm just so scared.

She has said it is non urgent. If they had even the slightest concern it was cancerous or life threatening, you would be on the 2 week pathway.

Enjoy your holiday

God it must be awful. Would it help to focus on the fact that even if it's bad news, it's not a death sentence? Imagine six months from now, you're recovering from treatment and recalling your nice memories of your holiday...?

Thanks for replying Flowers

I know you meant well but tbh what you have put in my mind has made me spiral even more

I don't know whether to try and get a drs appointment to see if they can give me something to calm me down.
