They showed me the screen where each of my biopsies have been and there was a good bit of bleeding inside too.
I actually never had a pelvic with a plastic speculum. Not that I had a lot of them. I think I only had about 4 pelvics before the 18 months before my hysterectomy. During that time i I had a number of them. And now I don't get them. Which is good since I have a feeling I'll be getting diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds every 6 months for a very long time after all this and that's enough, especially since I'll now be going to my current place and it's a 2.5 hour drive each way. But whatever keeps me healthy.

Oh, wow...that much blood is definitely unnerving.
Yes - all the mammograms and ultrasounds are more than enough without having to do pelvics, too. I need to make an appointment to get one, I'm overdue.
