C., the D&C is routine. It's no biggie and you shouldn't feel a thing after except some mild cramping...if that. Personally I would opt for conscious sedation instead of general anesthesia because the recovery is easier (in my opinion). Also, you may find that if your doc is set up to do surgical procedures in his office, your insurance will provide better coverage. For example, I just had an endometrial ablation in my docs office under conscious sedation...it was covered 100% as opposed to 80% had I gone to the hospital.
Also, being a fellow medical professional...you'll understand that sometimes it's dangerous to have too much information. :) Don't speculate cancer...as you know MANY things can ultimately point to cancer but that doesn't mean anything in the short run! This could be perfectly benign and you would have caused yourself undue worry!
