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.

  • At least whilst you're awake you can judge their expressions I couldn't stand to wait weeks or longer for a G/A then wait weeks for results as you say that is the worst ,I would say by Friday you'll pretty much have a good idea one way or the other ,the quicker the better at least you can then get on with other things .
