Thread: Uterine biopsy

Lynn as someone who has undergone numerous tests & biopsies I would tell you it is better to have someone with you & not need them rather than not have someone with you & need them. The moral support is priceless.

Let us know how you make out. If you need hystrectomy advice just ask. Hugs!

My best advice is to stop reading things on the internet. I made myself & everyone around me crazy by doing that.
I had my hystrectomy when I was 40. My 1st doctor thought I was having issues with getting "older" not the fact that my normally flat abdomen went to me looking like I was 5 months pregnant in 2 months. I went to 3 different doctors until I found one that made me calm.

Wow, I have never heard of a hospital doing that. Is there another hospital you could go to? Maybe talk to them about a payment plan if nothing else.
That really stinks.

I'm sorry Lynn they are being like that. I hate that you are having to use your retirement money for this, but I understand you don't have to much of a choice.
Hope things work out for the good in the end.

Please don't put it off any longer than you have to. My biopsy found precancerous spots that had I let go for much longer would have turned in to full blown cancer. Also, call the hospitals finance department... the only time I have been told I had to pay in full up front was for elected procedures. Tell them you need to make a payment plan, they should work with you.

I wish you luck hun! I had stage 3 cancer about 15 years ago and I tell you it was the scariest thing to go through. I am terrified every year when I have to have my annual. In fact I am almost due and am going to go to a specialist instead of my regular doctor. They think I am going through menopause and I need some answers, not just birth control pills.

I was fortunate mine was only stage 0 but I still had to deal woth post treatment. Your advice is spot-on. The sooner the better.
Keep us posted Ms Lynn.
