41 with 17mm endometrium

Hi I was referred for a transvaginal scan last week and the Dr called with my results this week. I have a thickened endometrium of 17mm (I was in week 1 of my cycle when scanned) and also cystic spaces of 7mm & 5mm. 

I’m now waiting for a referral to gynae which she said was marked urgent

I’m 41, my mum died at 50 and had ovarian cancer primary. She had a hysterectomy at 45. I’m obviously on high alert about this and don’t want to worry my family by telling them

After several years of anaemia and unbearably heavy periods I finally got a doctor to listen to my concerns and she has been excellent.

I have two children 4&7

I’m just anxious and trying not to worry until I’ve had the next appointment - it’s hard.

  • Hi Maudella,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's natural that this would cause some concern and I know the waiting and the uncertainty is never easy to deal with. It's great that you have a supportive and understanding doctor working with you.

    I hope you don't have too long to wait until the next appointment. In the meantime, try to keep busy where possible to help with keeping your mind off any worries.

    We're always here for support on the forum, and hopefully you'll get some more replies here soon - particularly from any others with similar experience.

    Wishing you all the best,
