How Is A Biopsy For Cancer Dtection Done?
I have just been told I need a biopsy after haviing n ultra sound for uterine cancer. What is involved i this procedure and is it painful? What are survival chances if this is cancer? My symptoms started a few months ago with spotting and lower pelvic discomfort. I am just freaking out thinking I have cancer. Could it possibly be something else? There ruled out fibroids. Thank you

An endometrial biopsy (uterine lining biopsy) is done under anesthesia so you would not feel anything.
Since you have an abnormal uterine bleeding and your doctor has suspicion of an abnormality on imaging so a biopsy is must to get to a diagnosis.
Have faith as even if turns out to be endometrial (uterine) cancer, its likely to be early stage which is curable.
Wishing you good health.
