Hello!

Does anyone have good oncology gynecologist recommendations for Ontario or BC?

Recently received biopsy results that indicate atypical endometrial hyperplasia but I am having trouble finding an actual oncology gynecologist with expertise in this area. 

Thank you for your help in advance,

Jennifer

@JJS, 

'hello, a few questions….1) who did the biopsy?  Could they not refer you to the proper gyne onco?  2) do you have a gyne?  That they would refer you or a GP?  In BC  I was referred by a gyne to  the BCCA  in Vancouver where the gyne onco has clinics and that's how I was connected.  I would think that they would know about atypical endo hyperplasia.  I did hear from my onco too that there is a sexual health program as well to help with hormonal replacement and such if needed.  Not sure if that helps.

This is super helpful! Thank you! Yes, I have both a GP and a gynecologist in Vancouver but they both seem totally disconnected from oncology gynecologists for some strange reason. 

Both my GP and my gynecologist (who specializes in obstetrics, not oncology) seem confused about who to contact, and neither seems to have contacts in oncology. 

Also, my gynecologist doesn't seem open to any ideas - about anything - except her own. 

For the past two years I have been trying to ask her about my strange bleeding symptoms, and she simply told me to take pills to stop the bleeding / stop the symptoms. She did not inquire further, or help to investigate possible causes for bleeding symptoms.

Now my gynecologist just wants to operate! Again, no discussion about my concerns. And no discussion about whether it might be wise to investigate further to try to ascertain and clarify whether I am precancerous or have actual cancer cells. 

Just trying to stay calm, but feeling very lost and overwhelmed. Thank you for your support, which is so helpful and greatly appreciated!
