Posted recently about possibly having fibroids after several months of constant bleeding. I had a doctors appointment 2 weeks ago, no physical inspection but was booked for a scan and blood tests. So far I've had no news on the scan but had bloods today - chatting to the phlebotomist she was looking through my notes and asked about the scan, she was shocked I have not had it yet and said it was urgent and to speak with reception to get an emergency appointment.
I was given Utovlan at my docs appointment which took a few days to work, stopped last weekend and the bleeding immediately started again with more flooding and clotting and I'm having quite a lot of discomfort around my pelvis, up my back and my tummy is very tender. Over the past 3 months I've been bleeding almost daily, ranging from flooding to discoloured discharge - so naturally the worst conclusion has been creeping through my mind. I'm trying to focus on the more likely cases (hypothyroidism which runs in my family, fibroids, hormone imbalance etc...)
Right now I'm really struggling, especially after speaking to the phleb this morning and her reaction to me not having a scan yet (I wasn't aware it was even an urgent scan until she said). Last month one of my good friends at 31 had a full hysterectomy after a recent diagnosis of cervical cancer. Last week another friend at 33 was diagnosed with womb cancer - this friend had been having similar issues to myself for the same amount of time and we've been going through our problems together - so of course, this is way at the forefront of my mind and I've been on and off sobbing all morning at work (and the past few nights working myself up).
Rationale is currently not functioning! We have no history of cancer in my family, I've had children, clear smear 2 years ago, and live a generally healthy life... the 'obvious' causes are not there - yet I am terrified and my mind is racing.
