Hi I had bc in 2019 and was on tamoxifen but started lezripole last six months. I started spotting two weeks ago after netball went rod docs who did an internal and cervix was bleeding. Fast tracked for cancer so have had an ultrasound and a hystroscopy and a biopsy. The ultrasound showed a thickening of 6.6mm. The hystroscopy showed no polyps or fibroids. Got to wait 3/4 weeks for results but today three days after the biopsy I am spotting brown I’m convinced I’ve got only a few weeks to die. I have pain in my knee back shoulder all over the last day. Is it all in my head help me pleaae

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your past breast cancer and can appreciate your concerns now awaiting results following a biopsy to check out a thickened womb lining.

    Unfortunately no one here can say what the results will show so sit tight as best you can for now but please try not to let your mind run away with itself.

    Having a thickened womb lining isn't uncommon and in most cases the cause won't be found to be cancer. Because you have had cancer in the past it is natural to be worried this is cancer again but that really may not be the case. Take things one step at a time and put to the back of your mind until you get the results.

    Of course if you are struggling or the discharge continues do speak with your doctor so they can assess you to manage this in the right way.

    I hope you also have friends and family to support you whilst you wait.

    Take care and you know we are here if you would like to get back in touch with us. You are also welcome to call the helpline on 0808 800 4040 weekdays 9-5 if you prefer.
