Biopsy results
My biopsy sample was not a good one, but there was no sign of cancer. There was adipose tissue in it, so he perforated my uterus but he said that's no big deal. I do not need to do anything else at this time, just go back for another u/s if I have any further bleeding six months or more from now. I really kept at him with 'are you sure?' and he said if there was cancer, he'd have gotten more tissue in the sample. I have to take him at his word, as we can't get 2nd opinions covered and I can't afford to pay for one. So, I'm relieved and hopeful that he's right.
On to the next. I have decided to have bariatric surgery and my GP is making the referral. It takes roughly 9 months from referral to surgery where I am, and involves a lot of appointments and tests. I need to shed some weight so I can have knee replacement. After that I guess will be loose skin removal.
I hope I can still come here from time to time to find out how you all are doing. I wish you all the best and thank you so much for all the support you have given me.
