Felt rather shell-shocked after the D&C. Now I am just so grateful that I am ok but for the last week or so, felt shellshocked as I said. My dad died four months ago - two days ago was four months - then I got the atypical cells results from my Z-sampler endometrial biopsy, then waited three weeks to have the D&C.... now picking up the pieces again.
OO, that sounds a bit dramatic. Am fine and relieved not to be so self-absorbed re myself and my little dramas. My bloody health dramas. (Now I have a sore eye which stopped being sore yesterday and now is sore again and went to the opthamologist re it and ... but that's another story......)
Anyway, asked the doctor for the report re my D&C. Wasn't so charmed with what it said but decided not to pursue it with doctor - (was I wrong? still could)- because I needed to just calm down and carry on without the heightened anxiety I had suffered.
Anyway, this is what it said (they took specimens from the cervix and the uterus):
"Sections show an ectocervicel epithelium in which there are mildly inflammatory changes with no
evidence of etypia or malignancy. The underlying stroma shows mild inflammation and is otherwise
unremarkable.
Specimen 2:
Sections show fragments of cervical stroma which may represent part of an endocervical polyp. There is
associated ectecervical epithelium which is unremarkable.
DIAGNOSIS:
SPECIMEN 1: SCANTY MATERIAL REPRESENTING MILDLY INFLAMED ECTOCERVIX.
SPECIMEN 2: CERVICAL BIOPSY: PART OF SMALL ENDOCERVICAL POLYP SHOWING SQUAMOUS METAPLASIA."
Looking at it now, not sure why I panicked when I read it. I know I looked up the polyp bit and it said it was unusual. Will google a bit again.
Glad all the people whose blogs I follow seem to be doing well. Happy about that too.

Glad you're OK. Not sure what to make of the polyp. Keep on top of it, but am sure your doc would tell you if it's something to be dealt with. And don't think you're being dramatic - you've had a lot going on. Grieving takes its own time, won't be rushed.
