Having a scan on Saturday for possible Fibroids - anyone around to reassure me?

[KatyMac]

Saw the hospital on Tuesday but 'they can't do much without a scan' - which I pointed out when they made the urgent 2 week appointment

So my uterus is largish, firm and very very high - behind my belly button (not sure where it should be)

They will only do a scan on Saturday right? I have plans for the afternoon.....

What happens if it is fibroids? What happens if it isn't?

I'm a bit jittery!

Just realised we have a Women's Health now - D'oh!

I had a scan for fibroids and they found two. Had a hysteroscopy under general and fibroid section to take it out. Did uterine cancer biopsy but very rare is cancer.

Thanks - I know I'm being a wuss, but I feel so poorly

Fibroids don't normally make you feel ill unless you bleed so much you are anemic. Maybe get a blood test for that if you are feeling weak / dizzy.

KatyMac, I had a hysteroscopy under general, and they took out a fibroid. It was fine; no problems at all. They biopsied it, and results were fine; I didn't have to wait long for them.

I have a visible lump
I have referred shoulder pain

I also have gall stones
I'm feeling pretty miserable atm

But this too will pass - thanks

I have a 5cm cyst on my ovary which will be monitored & a 3cm something in my uterus – which might be a fibroid but it’s the wrong shape and it might be scar tissue.

So wait for another appt
