I probably abu, however I'm worrying like hell. I'm waiting for results for MRI and Biopsy. Up until this point things were moving quite fast but now time is standing still.
Back story, i have suffered painful heavy periods since my teens. (mid 30s now) I've had ovarian cysts 3 times luckily treated medically in the past. Around this time last year my periods went hay wire. Excessive heavy bleeding, bleeding for 2 weeks at a time, constant period pain for 8 weeks, spotting, missing periods etc etc, i put it down to lockdown stress. Then they settled down around december but a familiar pain and lump returned, i spoke to gp and said it felt like when I'd had a cyst. He made me go to the surgery that night, he examined me and agreed he could feel 'something'. Sent me for urgent bloods and ultra sound. Bloods came back normal. Just before i Had ultra sound mid jan my stomach swelled so i looked pregnant. At the scan i was told i had 6 fibroids of different varieties and sizes the biggest being 10x10x8 cm, and polyp.
Spoke to gp the following week, he said he had refered me to a consultant-end of conversation.
Had telephone apt. Mid feb. The conversation started
"hi wait, you have been refered to us because you have fibroids and polyp, what treatment do you want ?" I requested a hysterectomy (from what i had read on google it seemed. Like the best option) he agreed with me, we spoke about family history etc and he said he was referring me for urgent mri and hysteroscopy inc biopsy of the polyp. And we would speak again after.
Had MRI the following week, and the hysteroscopy the week after begining of march. At the hysteroscopy she couldnt find the polyp but told me my womb was filled with lining, there was a lot of ummming. She took biopsy of the lining and discussed posible treatment inc the coil to reduce symptoms (i declined as i dont do well on hormonal therepy) she said she would highly recommend a hysterectomy in my circumstances, but my consultant would be in touch to discuss this further.
That's the last i have heard! I am goingnout of my mind! And my symptoms are getting worse, i look and feel 4 months pregnant, i need to pee all the time, its painful to open my bowels, i feel fatigued and nauseous and aswell and the constant month long period type pain returning i keep getting random stabbing pains like contractions and hot flushes. I called the consultants secretary 3 weeks ago and was told my results were back but they needes to go before the panel, which would be the end if that week. I have heard nothing since. I have left 2 more messages since (one being today) but nothing.
I understand that covid has made waiting lists quadruple and there are people in a worse situation than myself but aibu to think that a call or a letter is too much to ask for?
