Hi Sarah,

I had something similar 18 months ago, an out of the blue bleed then was told I had a thickened endometrium (I was 53 at the time).  I thought I must be menopausal but I was worried because I had a very heavy bleed which was unusual for me.  I think it was just me having one last go!  They always do further tests for post menopausal bleeding, it's standard.  They're just checking you out and there's every chance it won't be anything sinister.

I had an inconclusive biopsy because the Dr hadn't taken enough sample so they then did a hysteroscopy that showed that everything was fine.  I think I only had to wait a week for the results.

Having tests and the wait for results is scary I know but please try not to worry too much.  Remember that biopsies are done to rule out cancer, not just to confirm it.  Stay busy and distract yourself with hobbies and interests, and stay off Google, it won't help you.  I hope you can soon put this behind you.

Wishing you all the best.

Mary

Thankyou Mary 

I am trying to keep on the go , I'm glad you was ok and all turnt out well , x

Hi Sarah, 

I am going through the same thing myself. You're feelings are understandable and you will feel up and down. I found the waiting is the hardest part. You are not alone. We are here. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer Grade 1 stage 2. DONT PANIC my prognosis is excellent as with the vast majority of women who have endometrial cancer. Seriously you may just have a thick endometrial lining. You did the right thing, at the earliest moment you went to get checked. Well done you.  Keep busy, cry if you want to then brush it aside. It is what it is and nothing will change the outcome. 
I'm 59 and my first and only Grandson is 8 months old so I went through similar emotions. I know you are worried about putting this on your children but that's just it, they are adults and really love you so tell them your fears. It's a scary time. Please don't go through this bottling it all up. It will make your anxiety worse. Take care, you will soon know one way or another. Then take it from there. I wish you all the best.
