D&C with Biopsies / Possible Uterine Cancer

JSilb

Hi all. I have been on Tamoxifen for almost 3 years. My lining has thickened to well over 14 mm, and I have at least 8 polyps that were picked up on my last MRI. My oncologist and ob/gyn agree that I need the biopsies because of the Tamoxifen combined with a genetic cancer syndrome called li-fraumeni which greatly increases my risk for all types of cancer. I cannot being myself to be worried about the results because I just don't want to put the mental energy into worrying until I know I have a reason to. I have lymph nodes on my elbow that are not looking normal, and I have to pick and choose what to lose sleep over at this point. I am unsure as to what to expect after the D&C. I googled it but all kinds of varying horror stories came up, and I was hoping maybe someone could tell me about the procedure. I just turned 50 (diagnosed with BC in both breasts at 46 Stage IIB). Chemo and Tamoxifen seem to have thrown me into menopause, but I was wondering about the amount of bleeding after the D&C. My gynecologist spent quite a bit of time telling me how worried he was about the situation and the possibility of cancer but didn't give me much other information. (He was concerned I wasn't "taking this seriously." I'm not in denial but with the li-fraumeni, I can't fall apart every time something pops up. or I would spend my entire life just waiting for the cancer to come back around.) I would appreciate any information about the after effects of the procedure. Will I be back on my feet right away? Thanks for the help.
