Another thing Deneb. Doctors do NOT want to get sued! They don't want a lawsuit. If there were a chance of cancer, I strongly suspect they'd word their conclusions differently!
Once I had some test & included in the report was the fact that there was thickening of the lining of the uterus of a type possible in cancer, or something like that.
When I had my appointment with the gynocologist, he sighed, said, "Oh boy" & proceeded to tell me that thickening of the uterus was TOTALLY normal for a woman my age re menopause, etc. He said, that yes - now he HAD to do a D & C (remove the thickened lining) & that the professional who'd read the test & written up the report was simply protecting him/herself from any possibility of being sued if somewhere down the road I did develop uterine cancer. He said there was absolutely NO reason to do a D & C! It happened that I wanted to get my tubes tied anyway, so it didn't matter.
I just wanted to tell you that so it'd give you another angle to look at it from.
luv, Kath
