Endometrial Cancer

Hi, just reaching out to see what other's have experienced.  Im 3 years post menopausal and on HRT patch.  I had a small bleed and went to see my GP immediately.  Was referred on urgent suspected cancer pathway.  Had ultrasound within 2 weeks and radiologist said things didnt look normal and likely need MRI.  Have then had to wait 6 further weeks before Gynae appointment (which I had to chase up).  Was told at Gynae womb lning 15mm and complex mass also seen on ultrasound.  They tried to do biopsy in clinic but too painful.  I am now awaiting MRI and hospital admission for biopsy and removal of mass under anaesthetic.  My main concern is the time its all taking and failure to meet pathway deadlines.  Ive also found out GP had me on wrong HRT which increases the risk.  Would be great to hear others experiences/advice
