Hi Caroline,  thank you for reply.  I think putting it all together I'm a pretty low risk. Forgot to mention that I also have a couple of fibroids which are probably the culprits.

Apologies ifim repeating myself, my first reply didn't send

I think I'm probably a low risk, looking at the whole picture.  Also. I forgot to say I have  a couple of fibroids which, are probably the cause. 

Please get this checked out. I had a minor bleed and thought nothing of it however a subsequent PET scan undertaken ahead of a completely different procedure highlighted an issue in my womb which turned out to be endometrial cancer. You may not have the same result but surely it's better to know? 

Hi SFUC

I hope you're doing OK x

Thank you for the reply. I read that fibroids actually cause fewer problems and often shrink after menopause so perhaps that's not it. 

I did have  a look at my diary from last year and actually it's only been just over 10 months since my last period so perhaps I'm worrying about nothing. 

Do you mind me asking how long it had been for you when you had the bleed? 

Wishing you all the best. X

That's not an easy question to answer as I had a mirena cool fitted a few years before I became menopausal and had it removed in my early 60s. The coil had effectively stopped any bleeding whilst in situ. The bleed I subsequently had (years after coil was removed) was so minor I wouldn't have thought to follow it up. I'm quite grateful that my lung mets (from bowel cancer) indirectly led to the discovery of this second, unconnected from of cancer.

I know you feel you're low risk for endometrial cancer but you're not zero risk (no one with a uterus is!). Obviously it's your decision but you might want to have all information available to you first! 

I wish you well.

Helen
