Whoo boy do I need help

There is a pill called Cytotec.  This is known as "the abortion pill" but it's for women who never had children and have a closed cervix.  She should make you take one of these pills the night before the exam.  That will open the cervix.  I've had to do this 3 times.  I never had kids either.  The pill causes cramps and nausau but it's worth it.

Im glad you are getting this stuff checked out. Its important. It might not turn out to be cancer. This testing is a hard time. It was for me. I tried to stay busy doing other things. I too never got pregnant. I hope the best for you as you go forward with this testing.  I did end up with cancer and was able to do what i neede to. Eberything seems to work out.  Let us know how things go.  This is a great group for support and information. I hope others com along soon also.

So glad that you immediately made an appointment to understand what is going on with your body. So often life gets in the way. It is nerve racking to wait for the test results but going to the doctor when you have something abnormal is the best thing you can do for your health. Please don't forget to share all your symptoms with your doctor at your appointment. I am hoping that it is nothing. But if it turns out to be the scary C word, you can follow the leads of many warriors here on this forum. Best of luck! 

I had the bleeding issue, and was 51, so we chalked it up to being peri menapausal. (I too never had kids) After a few Dr's just put me on medicine, one finally did a biopsy after the blood was bright red. It ended up cancer. Do as the others have suggested and get a biopsy and then take it from there with your Dr. . As was stated, your food can make your poop change colors (don't you love how we can be blunt lol) so it might be what you are eating too. Relax and take one day at a time. We are here to help however we can!

Please don't put it off.  I had several signs, and just told myself it was something minor.  It wasn't.  Not everyone gets the bad news, it can be minor but to be same please just get it done.  I am not on here often, I guess I try not to think about it.  While I dont respond to everyone, the ladies that do have some really sincere, open, honest, and loving replies that say a lot.  If noting more, it helps me realize, I am not alone.  Thank you ladies who are faithful with us all.  I keep the group in my mind and hope to be here more often.

Wednesday can’t come soon enough I am sure. Praying for good news. 

Great news about the mammogram.  Now you need to get through the D/C   I had 3 in 5 years so they are not all that bad.  You'll be out of the hospital the same day, probably bleeding a bit though.  Keep us posted.  We pray for good news!

Well after many extra

Well after many extra pictures and a 3D splice view, my mammogram was given an all clear .  I have to have a D & C and the pathology from that will determine where we go from there but she assured me that 1% is cancerous so I am very hopeful.  The mass is outside of my uterus and she is 100% confident that it is a fibroid.  Good news all around.  Will come back and give pathology update.  Thank you again ladies for all of your wisdom and encouragement.

Great news!  Just a bit of my history I had a D&C in 2004.  All clear.  Post menapasual 2011 started bleening went to gyn dr said let's another d&c.  This time there were more polyps and a tumor in my uterus.  Cancer.  If I knew what was to be, I would have had a hystorectomy back in 2004.  Might think about it.  Now that I am 6 1/2 years from the cancer I have a much better ability to look back on it.  I now wear any color I want, even white pants, no worries.  One of my co-workers, in her 40s had a partial hystorecomy, left the ovaries, everything else removed.  She loves it.   Good Luck with your meeting and health.  trish

Can you all tell me what type

Can you all tell me what type of anesthesia you used?  I am being given a choice of twlight or general anesthesia.  Both carry worries from my end.  Twlight I am afraid it will hurt (me and medical procedures do not get along)  GA and I am concerned about my heart palpatations and my obesity.  Let me know what your experiences were

I had general anesthsia for the D&C and it was a piece of cake.  I had to have a colonscopy as well because they thought they saw a mass in my colon (thank God it was anything except diverticulosis - I don't know if I could have dealth with both uterine and colon cancer - but I digress).  They gave me the twilight anesthesia for the Colonscopy.  I was asleep for part of it but was awake for part of it as well.  Personally I prefer the general anesthesia because I didn't have any reaction and what I don't know won't hurt me - I was kind of freaking out when I saw the diverticulosis because i thought it was a mass.  The D&C and hysterscopy (which I assume they are going to do as well) takes less than 1/2 an hour.  Within an hour you will be ready to go home.
