Dr Call, update, and on to further testing.......

On our way to our day outing yesterday, I received a call from my Dr regarding my recently done pelvic ultrasound.  As you may (or may not) remember, this was part of the series of testing I was to do to figure out what ails me...... (TMI alert: I have been having very frequent/heavy/long/painful periods along with constipation issues, pelvic pressure, tenderness, and via Dr palpation---a uterus with the equivalent size of a 12-16 wk pregnancy.....)

So, she called and let me know the results: She started off with "You aren't planning on having any more kids, are you?"  Of which I replied, No, that my tubes are tied.... and she said "Good, because if you hadn't, I would suggest you do".... this was due to the results that my c-section scar area of my uterus was so thin that she didn't feel it would ever be able to carry a pregnancy to viability....(they weren't even sure if they could see the actual lining, but knew it was enclosed, so it is there)  My uterus is indeed enlarged, that there is some significant thickening the myometrium (most likely fibroids).  She then said that due to my weird labs previously taken, the ultrasound findings, my symptoms that she wanted an endometrial biopsy to rule out uterine cancer..... she didn't honestly think that was the case, and the ultrasound findings didn't point to that at all, but something "wasn't right" and her gut was to refer me.  She also said that generally she does do endometrial biopsies, however, due to my very thin uterus that she would fear that the instrument could accidental pierce the lining, causing a rupture and lead to an emergency hysterectomy---of which she preferred that it be done in the hospital, under general anesthetic, and with a GYN vs her (a family practice) who could do such an emergent surgery.

So, off to yet another Dr appt I go.  I am hoping to sneak in next week and get things rolling.  However, right now I am going through a decision process on which GYN to go to.  My choices are:

---Local whom my Dr chooses/refers for me in a hospital I have about 85% trust in
---A Dr local that I trust immensely (worked with her), but in a hospital I don't really think has the resources I desire
---The Dr that delivered Joshua and who walked me through the pregnancy with Lauren... whom I trust wholeheartedly and in a hospital I trust----but who did a hysterectomy on my Mom and (from no fault of the doctor) my mom didn't fare well (understatement---but my Mom doesn't heal worth BEANS), and since this physician works closely with my Mom at work, I feel may have some PTSD and would it be selfish of me to make those feelings while asking her to possibly perform the same surgery on me????

So, I have some decisions to make.  However, I am glad that things are getting done, and I am looking forward to (someday) feeling much better!
