"4 months wait and counting for a biopsy review"

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital / Gynaecology

Had biopsy of uterus in march after 3 months bleeding. Took another 3 months to get result back, after ringing gynae every 2 weeks. Got told if results bad I would have heard. Results reported over phone, so I googled results. Turns out complex hyperplasia, which means cells could go cancerous, without treatment, and according to nice guidelines, another biopsy should be done every 6 months.

So 4 months on, no follow up, rang yesterday jo in gynae put phone down.

So seems no one in too much of a hurry to make sure I have appropriate treatment.

Good luck anyone going here, certainly it is a risk.
