Frustration!

Gutted- the scan I have been waiting for has been postponed twice and now cancelled due to Covid Pressures and will be rearranged in future.

I know lots of people are having a horrible time in the world right now, but our pain doesn’t stop and maternity depts are still running. It was just a little scan. . . 😢

What sort of scan?

I had an ultrasound last week, not sure why it would be cancelled.

It was an ultrasound- they say they have stopped all scans and will contact me to reschedule!

It shouldn’t be too long, I’m surprised they’ve stopped scans.

Endo doesn’t really show on ultrasound, but other things would, it’s a way of ruling out those.

I’m either very lucky at the moment or belligerent (I did have to work a bit last week to get the scan)

I’m glad you got it- he’s scanning before laparoscopy to check there’s no big cysts or things that will be a surprise to him so he has given me the reason which is pretty good x

An excellent reason, very sensible.

The consultant I had was a little surprised at how much endo there was and described the uterus as distorted in the letter. 🤣 he thought there’d only be a small amount.

Wow- so surgery next for you?

It was treated as much as he could at the time. I’m having Zoladex to see if this can settle everything. Then MRI to see what’s happening.

My body is currently refusing to play ball as far as menopause goes, had third today so need to see if this does anything. If it does, no surgery.
