Wendy- A woman with a history of multiple cancers, experience vaginal break through bleeding after a decade of menopause. metabolic issues with blood sugar. uterine lining is too "thick" to get a good biopsy. Medical advice given is a full hysterectomy. Do you think this is extreme surgery?

Wendy said: First, needs an office procedure, an endometrial biopsy, to determine what is happening. (frankly, it's uterine cancer until proven otherwise). The reason this is important is that if it is indeed cancer, she needs to see a gyn oncologist for treatment which will include a hysterectomy but other "staging" procedures as well. Worst thing is to let a general gyn do a hysterectomy and THEN find out it's cancer, as they won't have done the rest of the procedure she needs. Let me know if this makes sense.
