Endometrial cancer

Hi,just be glad of any info or advice concerning endometrial cancer.

I'm in my very late 50s,finished my periods two and a half years ago.

Had a very unexpected and heavy period lasting five days.

Was referred for a scan and told my endometrial lining was 5mm,

I then had to have a vaginal scan which confirmed that the lining was 5mm.

My GP wasn't unduly concerned but gynae nurse insisted they arrange for me to have a hystercopy,

thankfully I'm having that with a general anaesthetic within this next month.

I'm just wondering if this is a fuss over nothing?

From what I've read a 5 mm lining is not particularly severe?

I'm tempted just to cancel the appointment when it comes through.

It's been a rough few weeks with a whole series of tests not to mention two bouts of shingles,

I'd just like to put the whole thing behind me.

Thank you.

  • I am waiting on the same but my lining is 12 mm i would imagine from what I have read that you have nothing to be worried about and that your dr is just double checking as they should investigate any post menopausal bleed xx good luck  

  • I hope you get a date soon.

    The waiting is the worst thing.

    I've had a series of tests recently including a colonoscopy for a separate condition and then the whole gynae thing.

    I'm convinced the stress has caused two bouts of shingles,and have now reached my limit.

    I do appreciate the importance of these tests but have run out of steam.

    I hope all goes well for you.
