UPDATE: For those that “gotta know” – my Dr. called me before I even got home from the ultrasound – is he proactive or what? I’ll save all the “details” for the girls but here is the bottom line – my ovaries look okay but my endometrial lining is more than 50% thicker than it should be and I have a “very unusual” amount of free fluid in my uterus. The concern is uterine cancer. Not surprising because several female family members had the same symptoms that I do and when my Aunt and Grandmother had their hysterectomies, one of them had already progressed to uterine cancer (at age 27) and the other had pre cancer cells and she had them remove her uterus before it got any worse. So it seems I may be next in line. The next step is an endometrial biopsy. The Dr. said that the biopsy wouldn’t necessarily tell all. It could come back fine and not in fact be fine. He would rather do a D&C and test everything but then added if he were to put me under for that he would rather just do the hysterectomy. At the end of our conversation he said he was glad that I was going to the Virginia Piper Center, wanted to do the biopsy, but hoped I would just give serious thought to the hysterectomy. He must think I am doomed. If not now, later LOL! His rational makes sense. Jim and I are both discussing whether or not I REALLY will need to do this. How high is my uterine cancer risk? Do I have it now or in a pre stage? Sheeeeshh if I know. I talked to mom over the phone about this and I would swear she is in kahoots with my Dr. because she gave 101 reasons TO get a hysterectomy. She is a STRONG supporter of going that route. She didn’t say it, but I suspect after her cancer scare two years ago, she is taking no risk with her daughter. I am not discouraged by this news. I don’t really feel anything about it all at the moment. I DO HOWEVER regret that I have to have another endo biopsy. I had one prior to transferring Tanner to make sure my lining could support babies (at that time I was fine) and darn if that wasn’t sooooooo painful. I about broke Jim’s hand. NOT excited about that. Such is life huh.
