Womb thickening 16mm

Hi 

I had a womb thickening back in 2019 of which I had a hysteroscopy  and all was clear at the time I had a mirena coil fitted 

fast forward 2022 diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer   Just completed surgery and radium. Had to have coil removed and put onto tamoxifen. 
after a bleed I was sent for transvaginal scan which shows lining now at 16 mm so I'm back in on an urgent referral to gynae 

I am so worried and scared that it will now come back abnormal after just fighting off breast cancer. 
has anyone else had a thick womb lining. 
thanks 

  • Hi Arma,

    I can understand this must be difficult and I hope you're getting on OK. I hope it's not too long to wait for the referral appointment and that you can find out more about this soon.

    I'm sure there will be others here with similar experience, so hopefully you'll receive further replies soon. You can also search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) for other relevant discussions if helpful.

    As always, we're here for support if ever you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
