lol! now if that will not get some attention! Seriousley though I am going in for a endometrial biopsey on the 18th after 9 months of bleeding I finally found a doctor who will take me seriousley and has found out what is going on with me. I have endometrial hyperplasia to the tune of 2.1 cm as seen by a trans vaginal ultrasound. I have been doing to much reading on the web and have now convenced myself that I must have cancer and will not get to see my babies grow...my logical self tells me it is a far fetched thing to worry about at 26 but you know your mind goes there just cause your scared to death! I need some support from you wonderful ladies! Please! I guess I am just scared because I have been bleeding for so long I feel like maybe I let this go on for to long and now it has spread into cancer. I have searched and searched and have not been able to find out how long it would take for hyperplasia to turn into cancer. I am hoping that knowing that would help me feel a bit better. I'm getting large clots and other fun stuff and it is scaring the bagebbers out of me! If anyone has a story please share I want to hear your outcomes! I'm trying to give this to God but sometimes it so hard to think positivley! TIA!
Your worrying if perfectly normal. Most people tend to think the worst, and then those dreadful 'what ifs' start taking over the mind.
I was actually in a similar situation. A few years ago, I had a battle with cervical cancer. Luckily it wasn't to the point that it needed more treatment then a cervical cone, and being monitored by a pap smear every 6 months. At the time, I didn't know that I had PCOS, and there were several other problems I was having. Trying to talk to the drs, I just started feeling like a head case because they couldn't find anything wrong besides having cysts on my ovaries. I stopped going to the dr all together. For almost 3 years, I didn't see any drs, and let my pap smears go. Then I got to the point that I was sick most of the time, very pale, and couldn't eat much. I thought for sure that the cancer came back and forced myself to go to a new dr. She's the one who gave me the dx of PCOS, and was very understanding about my past experience. She must have suspected PCOS, but never said a word to me about it. Instead, she started me on the Met, did my yearly, and a ton of blood work. A week later, I got my results, the pap was normal, but my blood results were all over the place. That's when I got the info on PCOS from her, but by that time, I had already been nosey wanting to know what the Met was for and knew about PCOS.

Wow. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I have not have experience with the cancer end of this but I have had a Endo Lining Biopsy. Yeah It hurts but it is over quick. I hope they can figure out what is wrong and you can get back to healthy soon. 26 is young to be facing this. I hope you feel better soon!
