Hi, I am in a similar situation,age 56,  GP concerned with bleeding since changes to HRT ( to progesterone only from combined patches),after almost a year of no period.Had Ultrasound scan Tuesday, shows thickened lining, now awaiting urgent Gynae appointment within next few weeks.Am obviously worried about outcomes but also glad that it's all being dealt with quickly, it's all a bit overwhelming tbh.

Wishing you all the best. It’s the waiting that’s crucifying! I’ve only told one person as I don’t want people worrying and fussing, so this anonymous community is a life line. Please keep us updated on this thread if you feel it would help you. 

Thanks and will do. Hope all goes well with you.

My story is identical to yours. I should have had my hysteroscopy on 29th but my anxiety was through the roof so consultant asked me if I preferred general aesthetic. I jumped at the chance. Now I am waiting for a pre op appt and a telephone call for appt to have the hysteroscopy and biopsy done. It’s very overwhelming but reassuring that things are happening quickly.

Hi , I have my appointment through for 23rd July, it's the waiting that's the worst.I am due to go on a cruise first week of September, so hoping for the best outcome.Got to try and keep positive.I am also a bank nurse after retiring from full time last year and have managed to get an extension to my revalidation until mid September as obviously if it's Cancer then won't bother with it and concentrate on my health.

 MillekA hope all goes well with you , and everyone else in same boat , it helps to chat with you all , doesn't feel so lonely.

Yes I’m supposed to be going on holiday the weekend of 20th July. Husband is all for us losing the whole pay,ent if I need to have any treatment then but I really want my holiday lol. It really does help knowing that I am not alone. It’s so scary not knowing and the waiting has me worried incase things progress if it is endometrial cancer. I can’t sleep as I’m up and down to the toilet every 1 to 2 hours and I have constant back ache with bloated stomach. Would love for it all to be over and a positive outcome for us all. 

I’vs got an internal scan tomorrow and then see a consultant afterwards .I’m getting more and more worried the nearer it gets! Am dreading that they say I need a hysteroscopy, as I’ve heard they can be very painful. Hugs to everyone going through all this!! Xx

I too was a ball of n iety about the hysteroscopy but my consultant gave me the option of having a general anaesthetic so don’t get worried. Just ask them. My consultant said I won’t have to wait for a new appt as it’s still under 2ww and asked if I would be ok if the called within 2 to 3 days. Chins up girls. We got this :) hugs

Just had to complete an online pre op assessment and been notified my day surgery for hysteroscopy will be on 16th July. Timing is good for our holiday which is booked for 20th July. Can’t believe how fast this is all going. 

Good to know that a hysteroscopy is day surgery. I hope all goes well and that you will be celebrating good news on your holiday!

Were you offered just sedation as an alternative to a full anaesthetic? 

Due to my heightened anxiety the consultant mentioned GA and I said yes! Yes please!. I didn’t give the poor man the chance to offer anything else. I just want to sleep and deal with whatever when I wake up. I had sedation when I had a laparoscopy when I had an ulcer and I can still remember the yucky bits of that so GA is better option for me.
