Her health care provider didn't want to do any tests....he said the bleeding was a side effect of the HRT and tried to adjust the dosage. She did recently now have a D&C and the diagnosis was uterine cancer. It is a virulent type and stage III. She has a 50% chance to live another 2 years. In her case, in other words, they should have done more sooner. I think too many tests is better than what she is going through now. What I would question, though, is why they don't give her anesthesia when they do the scrapings? Is there a good explanation for this? Best wishes, and I hope your mother remains healthy. -- Julia Next message: Debbie: "Vaginal Vault Repair After Hysterctomy" Previous message: Janet: "Re: Need advice on having surgery for stress incontinence" In reply to: Ann: "54 yr old woman with breakthrough bleeding for 3 yrs?"
