Well, I am still in a bit of shock....My gynecologist is freaking out because my scoliosis surgeon found a problem in presurgical cat scans with my uterus, and my PCP forgot to forward these test results to the gynecologist. My mother had uterine cancer at 36, and I had an endometrial ablation done 1 1/2 years ago to stop irregular horrible periods and make sure nothing was sneaking up on me.. I asked my PCP twice to make sure they were forwarded to the GYN, and when I did not hear anything, I assumed all was okay and the thickening was scar tissue from the ablation. So, at my yearly physical, I handed the GYN the latest bone density results, and this abnormal ultrasound test result just happened to be in the same folder. The GYN read it and said it should never be as thick as it was on the ultrasound, especially after the ablation. My periods had been so awful for the last year ( and unpredictable) that I have had to wear depends and stay at home to avoid blood pooling around my ankles and ruining clothes and chairs. I thought that was normal for peri-menopausal women !!! So, he is mad that he did not see it months ago, and so am I, as I have to pay another $ 1,000 deductible. of course, there is always the underlying possibility of cancer, but, I am not ready to consider that until it comes to that. He scheduled me for surgery in January.
What I ask now, is, have any of you had surgery that soon after our scoli surgeries, and what special precautions should this doctor take? I am going to email my scoli surgeon and let him know so he can put in his 2 cents worth ( make that half a million dollars worth) and i hope that Blue Cross/Blue shield does not put out a "hit" on me ... Thanks for listening to me whine....I was SO not ready for this....
