Suspected uterine cancer

I am 55, been on hrt for approx 5 years. About a year in started bleeding, although I'd not actually finished my periods completely when I started, had a uss and all was fine. You know how time can be a bit warpy sometimes,  I went for my reg hrt review and I keep track of my bleeding and it wasn't until I showed the nurse my calender I realised how regularly I had been bleeding,  I think Id convinced myself too that it hadnt been THAT long since I'd had the scan, it was actually 3 years before! Anyway xmas eve, had another uss and lining of my uterus is 33 mm and they think there is a polyp, so I have a hysteroscopy and biopsy in a week. Just wondering what everyone else's experiences have been with this, good and bad.

  • Hi I had to have a womb biopsy for the same thing 3 yrs ago, it just feels like strong period pains and doesnt last. They just take a small biopsy from the lining of the womb. I am now waiting for another one as the lining of my womb is 6.5mm which is nowhere near as yours. But usually nothing to worry about as this could be from hormonal changes. 

  • Hi there I’m sorry to hear you are going through this I’ve just been diagnosed with grade 3 endometrial cancer on Monday I had a scan beginning of January where my uterine lining was 27mm and had lots of poloyps also one looking suspicious so fast forward to Monday I was told the news but please be reassured a thick lining doesn’t always mean cancer it can mean so many other things I was bleeding on and off for a long time but was told peri menopause does that as I had never gone without a period for a whole year  a whole year I wish you well and hope you get good results
