Irregular bleeding and back pain. Worried about endometrial

Hi all, 

I have been having irregular spotting and periods since the beginning of 2020, I'm obese so it's always been assumed it was because of this. I started having lower back pain in April 2021 which again has been blamed on my weight. It isn't constant but happens even if I just went for a short walk so has made it barely possible to exercise and my weight has increased further.

I've just had a trans vaginal ultrasound and it has come back as polycystic ovaries which I expected but has also come back with my uterus looking heterogeneous in texture and I've now got myself in such a state worrying it is endometrial cancer.

I'm so upset I've been brushed off with it probably being my weight for the last 2 years. I have an appointment with my GP to discuss results on Friday but I want to ask for a endometrial biopsy but don't really know how to?

I'm 34, no kids for reference. I had a ca125 blood test in Jan that was 31

Any advice would be so gratefully received im in such a mess right now and have severe health anxiety as it is :cry:

Thanks for reading
