Endometrial cancer

Hello everyone - world turned upside down with a diagnosis of cancer in womb yesterday. Only went to see GP a week ago about water infection and scan yesterday revealed otherwise. Op arranged in 10 days time so all happening incredibly fast and I’m a bit she’ll shocked and I know I haven’t listened properly to GP etc about what is going to happen so I’m consulting Dr Google which is a stupid thing to do. If anyone has had endometrial cancer post menopause I would appreciate any information especially if it is known to spread. Thank you

  • hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread, i just wondered if you have had a diagnosis? I have the same symptoms as you bright red bleeding like a period followed by brown discharge on and off, and i am worried sick, I can't have a biopsy due to having had an ablation. i have had a couple of scans one which showed a endometrium of 12mm and then the other that showed an endometrium of 4mm. If you don't mind replying that would be great. I'm 53 years old and haven't had a period for so long! x

  • Hiya

    Sorry hope you dont mind me jumping on all your threads. I'm 45, pre-menopause, was told Sept 2018 that I have Endometrial Hyperplasia and so had a coil fitted. Periods stayed normal and nice and regular for a while. Doc said Sept 2019 when I was ready for a hysterectomy let her know and she'd refer me, but at the time I was looking after my dad. So 2020 came and Covid set in. My periods are now continuous and have been for 5 months, back pain, legs ache. So I've been back onto my GP and I've been referred but I dont know how long things will take as I'm now waiting for a phone consultation. We've got a son so we're not worried about a hysterectomy. I've got family history of early hysterectomy's, so think theres a bit of a theme going on. Hope you're all staying safe xx

  • I have just had my diagnosis and got the all clear its now just sorting out the  lining  whuch will be treated with meriva coil and maybe some tablets I still have the discharge and occasional bleeding but know its nothing too worrying. I still find it weird to have stomach pains bleeding abd discharge long after the menopause but it should be better with treatment. I have atrial fibulation, angina and had a stroke abd several Tia,s  and thinning of heart  wall which they think might be hole They dud my biopsy using a spinal injection which meant I could feel nothing from waist  down felt very strange but was much safer. Maybe ask your consultant if its possible ti do  biopsy  using spinal methid I also have degeratuve soine so they had to be careful . Uts worth asking to put your mind at rest I wish you all the best please keep in touch xxx hugs
