Hi, I am new on here and hoping to find out more about Endometrial Cancer, testing, testing results, questions I should ask doctor, etc, etc. I have spent hours and days researching online and all I can do is cry, Im scared of dying and scared about the pain the treatments will bring. I spotted a few times before COVID, I asked a friend from my motorcycle club about the spotting and occasional menstrual cramping and she told me it was nothing, probably fibroids. My gp has done my PAP for years and they were always negative for cervical cancer. I told both gp's that treated me about my spotting and cramps and I was told it was nothing to be concerned about, they didn't feel anything unusual During my test. Well after skipping my PAP due to COVID I decided to get it done by a gynecologist this time rather than my new ARNP. My Gynecologist told me she didn't like how thick my lining felt and she ordered a vaginal sonogram. I found out yesterday that my lining is 13mm which they said is very thick so I have to have a biopsy. I don't know if I'm overreacting and 13mm isn't really that bad or should I be prepared that I definitely have cancer and probably at least stage 2(I hope I'm jumping the gun). My biopsy is scheduled for August 6th, I doubt I'll sleep much waiting. I beat death in 2010 in motorcycle accident. Was Glasgow coma scale 3, PE, on life support 3 weeks, had klebsiella pneumonia and acinetobacter which they quarantined me for. My TBI was so severe I had to relearn how to tell time, add, subtract, multiply, make change with money, two years OT and PT. I was told I would never be able to drive a car again but I proved them wrong. Not only do I drive a car again, despite now being an above knee amputee, I ride a Can Am Spyder and a proud member of The Motor Maids. all that was scary but this cancer is the scariest thing I have ever faced in my entire life. I beat the odds when they were stacked against me in 2010 so I am determined to beat them again. I just hope they give me some fun pain meds, LOL.
