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. 

I had bleeding at Easter, it stopped and then started again, stopped and started. Finally saw a doctor on Thursday, so 2 days ago and I am booked in for a D&C on Friday of next week. My uterus lining is thicker than it should be. I’m terrified but trying not to imagine the worst. Have been overweight all my life and have never had children, two factors which can also contribute to cancer. I’ll crumble, I know I will, I won’t have it in me to fight. 

Please try not to worry until you have the results through. Sometimes these things happen and nothing comes of it. Dont be alone thinking of what might not be, we are always here if you need a chat. x

Thank you for this post and to all who have commented on it - I have created a post today along similar lines. Could I ask a follow up question but if it’s too much information then just don’t anyone answer!!

for those who have been through the menopause, when you say you were having episodes of bleeding, are we talking about the thick red period bleeding of younger years? Or is it a browner , thick bleed, like a discharge? But do/ did you still get the vague stomach pains and feelings that went along with having a period back in your younger days? They aren’t as severe, but are similar.

im sorry if that’s TMI - you can put answers on my post today : pierfan43

just a bit worried!

Hi there, 

I’m nearly 4 years into menopause and this is my experience:

at Easter, I started bleeding, it lasted about 10 days. It was light, but constant and bright red.

It stopped for about a month and then started again, lasting 4 days this time. More pain, enough for a hot water bottle. I also passed a clot about the size of a pea.

Finally saw a gynecologist and she did an ultrasound and an internal exam. The lining of the back of my uterus is thicker than it should be. She said I might bleed due to the invasive nature of the exam, and I have. Every day for 5 days. Still quite light, still bright red. I’ve also passed a huge blood clot, about 4cm square - very scary. I have dull pain in my tummy, not cramping, more of an ache. Tiny clots, mm wide. 

Am having a D&C on Friday and am terrified.

Hope this wasn’t tmi and that it helps.

Went to GP on Tuesday and also had smear test. GP referred me under the 2 week pathway and I am being seen for an internal scan on Tuesday. I’ve had no more bleeding - it seems to be very light spotting for 2 day every month ( for last 3 months.) GP wasn’t a bit reassuring unfortunately. Now I gave this appointment I am more worried . It’s becoming real I guess

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.
