THESE WERE NOT THE RESULTS I WANTED!
Well, the ultrasound yesterday entirely failed in the obvious and not scary categories. Need to talk to the doctor about it, but I think what I actually have is non obvious and scary. Bah!
There's no sign of any cysts in my ovaries. Apparently they look fairly normal. There are a whole load of small growths in my uterus. None of them are fibroids ( Read more... )

Are you sure you were scanned sufficient close to your mid-cylce that any small and temporary (but annoying!) PCOSy cysts would have shown up?
even small fibroids aren't great news though, much sympathy/empathy (my lkast scan found one which hadn't shown up on previous scans
My Aunt (dad's Sister) had endometrial cancer and everything i've been told and read about it suggests that it's not particularly hereditary (though one of the main risk factors, PCOS, is - my PCOS comes from the other side of my family which i'm hoping will make my risk a little less but obviously i keep an eye out for symptoms). I do hope your cousin is all right (i seem to remember your Grandmother isn't always the most reliable source of information - and also i remember some of my family members getting confused and concerned about the similarity in names of the two separate conditions when i was first diagnosed with endometriosis)
Fibrods are a pretty specific kind of growth - it's extremely rare for them to become malignant and if they did it would cause Leiomyosarcoma not Endometrial cancer. Are you sure your Mum didn't have fibroids and endometrial cancer concurrently?(fibroids are common enough that it's more likely statistically)
