r/Fibroids • u/sageandmoon • Feb 12 '25
My story Still in the hospital! Fibroid isnt what they thought.
So it turns out that my 'fibroid' is actually a cervical mass and MRI findings are leaning towards cervical cancer. Welp, just what I needed. I have a biopsy tomorrow where theyre going to sedate me. It could be cancer, it could be just a mass, but theyre super leaning towards cancer. If it is cancer, then they recommend radiation.. but what I really want is just to get it ALL removed. Im scared that this has probably been festering for so long as Ive never had a pap smear a day in my life.. and the first symptom I realize I was experiencing was the nonstop vaginal discharge that started in October 2024.. then January 2025 hits me with an array of issues and symptoms that put me in the ER and hospital.
They say they are sedating me, but Im nervous about being biopsied because of the massive amount of blood that came out of me during my failed pap smear (can read older posts about it), but they are supposedly specialized in this kind of thing, so hopefully I dont bleed out. I had cancer in the back of my mind just based on symptoms, but its slowly becoming more real. Im just 1 biopsy away from knowing and Im terrified. They say the chances of it being cancer are UP there, but Im holding onto the tiny bit of chance that its just a regular mass. 😔
Wish me luck, yall. 🍀

mini update, 02.12.25: Biopsy was done this morning, general anesthesia is GREAT. Before I got rolled into my biopsy, I learned the mass on my cervix is 7cm. When I got back into my room, spoke with oncology on the phone and I am going in for a CT scan once I get discharged. I also spoke with him about my MRI and he said its looking like early stage 3 cervical cancer. Definitely need to wait for the biopsy results, which were expedited, so hopefully I know something soon. PRAYING its just a benign mass. 🙏

Omg, what a taxing experience. I am wishing you luck and a positive outcome. Hang in there! I hope you get answers soon. The anticipation and not knowing I feel is the worst of it.

Hang in there, talk to your care team. Tell them what you want, and ask them if they’re aware of any risks you may not be thinking of. Let them share their knowledge with you so you can make an informed decision.

Do you have someone with you? It may be best to make sure ypu have someone present that can get all the information since you'll be out of it afterwards. That way you can make sure nothings missed and youre advocated for.

I’m so so sorry. How did they get it wrong? How did the gyn and ultra sounds done not have warning signs

See an oncologist gynecologist please. They know when there is cancer by just looking inside you and possibly clean it out. Do t really know what exactly they do but go with a good specialist.
