In February, my ob/gyn sent me to get a d&c because my endometrium was a bit too thick for his liking. (I'm 57 years old, three years post menopause.) In the ultrasound, it didn't look like it had infiltrated the wall of my uterus. Everything seemed to be pretty smooth. During the d&c in March, they discovered a 9 mm tumor, Grade 2.
I had my hysterectomy (radical, robotic, including the sentinel lymph nodes) three weeks later, on 10 April. Everything went smoothly. The surgeon told me that my abdomen had looked fine and that the pre-op CT of my torso had come out perfectly clean as well.
They were supposed to give me the final results the following week, but then called me to say that the corresponding report still wasn't typed up. So the appointment got postponed for another week. One day before that appointment, they phoned me again -- and told me that they were still waiting for some last result from their pathology department. They'd call me again once they got it.
That was on Tuesday. I still don't have a new appointment, and I'm really scared that they did some extended analysis because of some further and maybe really bad stuff they might have found. Why else would it first be a report that wasn't typed up in time, then, all of a sudden, some more pathology stuff they're waiting for? Of course they wouldn't tell me anything else over the phone. Which scares me even more.
I'm German, by the way. My surgery took place in Dortmund.
