Postmenopausal bleeding

Hello there... in 2020 I didn't have my period anymore. Early 2021 I had some minor bleedings. In May I had a histeroscopy with biopsy and the results were normal despite endometrium in a size of 6.4 (should be less than 5). After about 3 months I had minor bleeding again and doctor said not to worry. Now, 4 days ago I had a big bleeding that doesn't stop. The doctor gave me a referral to The hospital with Urgent  2ww and thinks might be cancer because I am obese (got this way after a huge depression). I am so scared... why nothing was done to avoid this situation months ago? Anyone with similar experience? Thanks for reading 

  • Hi lavenderhoneymel,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your situation - I can imagine this must be unsettling. It's good to hear you now have the referral - this will mean you'll get the answers you need, and hopefully it's not long to wait for the appointment.

    I can see you have also posted in the Ask the Nurses section of this forum, so you'll receive a reply from one of our nurses soon.

    Meanwhile if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    I hope you find out more soon. Wishing you all the best,
