Endometrial WHAT?

Phone calls can be randomly disturbing. Today's phone call from my RE was upsetting and unbelievable.

Conversation goes as follows:

Nurse: "Tiffany, Dr. S wanted me to remind you that even though you've decided to forego IVF at this time, you'll need to continue a 6 month check-up with your regular OB since you're at high-risk."

Me: "High-risk for what?"

Nurse: "Endometrial cancer. Dr. S discussed this with you at one of your appointments."

Me: "I would have remembered that. We never discussed endometrial cancer or the words high-risk. What does that mean?"

Nurse: "You'll have to talk about that with your OB or make an appointment with Dr. S."


SERIOUSLY?? What is wrong with people? You don't tell someone they're at high-risk for cancer of any kind without prepping them first! Geez! R says I don't need to worry about it - I guess I'll bring it up when I have my appointment. Now, I just need to find an OB who's actually reads my chart.
