I telephoned the McMillan nurse on Tuesday as I'd not heard anything. She checked my record/med notes & confirmed that the sample they took 10 days ago showed no sign of cancer
however it did show a benign polyp
. She said she'd email the gynae to get a more detailed report & either of them would get back to me. but I've not heard anything. I realise this means that that particular sample didn't show cancer but there could be other areas that may do.
Has anyone heard of Patients Know Best? This is from Wikkipedia:
"Patients Know Best is a British social enterprise, with an aim of putting patients in control of their own medical records. Patients Know Best also integrates into the NHS Connecting for Health network to provide patients with tools to work with clinicians. Its Chairman is Dr Richard Smith. Wikipedia"Well anyway I'm signed up with them & they sent me a notification today saying I'm booked in for a procedure with the gynae dept in the outpatients at my local hosp. I'm guessing it's a hysteroscopy to remove the benign polyp??
The other issue I have regarding bleeding around the urethra/blood in urine etc. I have a cystoscopy being done tomorrow morning. Had one done 10 years ago & it bloody well hurt like hell so not looking forward to it at all but realise it's totally necessary.
Things are difficuilt to take in atm. I'm glad that they are eliminating all possibilities rather than just doing a "wait & see what happens" - but concerned that they are still looking.
I am still bleeding from both areas but was hoping that this would ease up.
So that's where I am atm lovely ladies. I'll let you know how things go.
p.s. Grheliz 1 thanks for your post & you are so right about being out of control. Please let me know how you're getting on
