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.

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.

Hey there, it's OK to feel not OK...and your gut knows this.  The abdominal pain most probably is your gut...is has brain cells, it knows somethings up. And as far as Friday is concerned, be kind to yourself, go slowly about your day today.  Common things ate common...you can do this, we are all routing for you.  After you've had your appointment if you need to talk to someone experienced, you can always contact Eve Apeal who have experienced nurses.  Just thought I'd mention this Xx

Thank you so much Scarycat59. X

You're welcome Xx

I too, have been helped by a very simple guided meditation exercise ( it’s in Spanish, otherwise I’d share it with you). I went through quite bad dizziness and anxiety, still do to some extent, but have found calm and looking inward to be a great help. 
My results have come back negative, so miracles are possible, keep the faith and stay strong. 

Oh, that's really good to hear.  Yes, meditation really works and allows the brain to put things in order.  I find when I'm anxious everything gets jumbled up and I can't rationalise properly while my thoughts are racing at the speed of knots.  So, yes I can't say enough about how much this helps.  

It's great your results came back negative.  People like us who keep an eye on our health, attend tests promptly are more likely to not miss much.  But hey, we know our bodies, we know in our heart of hearts we're ok, scans have showed nothing obvious so our brain needs to communicate all is well with our body.  And yes, keep the faith and stay strong xx

Happy for you that results are negative.I have also found meditation and mindfulness really useful in the past , must get back in to it .

You're very welcome.  I'll be thinking of you today.  You can do this we are with you in spirit Xx

Thank you! I’m terrified. Appointment is at 11:15. I’ll keep you all posted. X 

Will be thinking of you , at least you will have answers x

Well good news- sort of! My appointment went pretty much as I was expecting. The biopsy shows early cancer in the lining of the womb. However, it is not an aggressive type and has been caught very early as I presented quickly to the GP with my symptoms and because the NHS fast track cancer pathway is absolutely fantastic. The MRI shows my pelvis,muscle and lymph nodes are all clear. Hysterectomy (keyhole) is booked for Monday 19th August.
I’m very relieved.Thanks for all your support on here everyone. It’s very much appreciated! Xx

That’s great news that it’s caught early. You must be so relieved. I don’t know you but I’ve been thinking of you all day! Xx

That's great that it's been caught so early , bet that's a relief !

That's good to hear, I have also been thinking about you all day.  You will be well looked after and I'm sure the team will support you.  My very best wishes and hugs Xx

That’s so sweet kaylinn48. Thank you! Xx

Yes I’m relieved, which seems an odd emotion to have when you’ve just been given a cancer diagnosis! But I am very aware that it’s the best bad news I could have had! X

Thank you so much Scarycat59. How brilliant are our NHS. It’s been only 4 weeks since I went to the GP! X

I’m happy for you. I had exactly the same surgery on May 17th. I was discharged the ne today. Can’t thank the doctors and nurses enough. They were brilliant. With key hole surgery, you hardly even notice the scars. The main thing for me was that it is all treatable unlike some other type of cancers. I’m here for you if you have any questions or want to talk further. Try to keep your spirits up. It’ll be fine. In fact 2 doctors told me that if you are going to get a cancer diagnosis, this type of cancer is the better type to get as it is so treatable especially if they get it early. Mine was on the edge of stage 2.  Try to relax now. 

Thank you MrsMayMay! Yes 2 doctors have said the same to me about it being a ‘good’ cancer to have. Todays doctor said not only is it treatable; its curable. It’s made me reflect on my life choices. I am overweight and this has probably been a major factor in my diagnosis, which is in turn causing the NHS thousands of pounds to treat. I feel very guilty about that!! So a radical rethink of my priorities; my health; my kids (adult) and my grandchildren is long overdue. Certainly makes you reevaluate your life! Xx 

Dear Wiseowl1, its so good to hear that the Dr's can get all this sorted.

In regards your weight, I thought I'd share with you what made a difference for me...I'm only 5ft2 and was about 70kg back in 2021.  I did loads of research and decided to make a few changes.  I started to fast each day from 5pm last meal until breakfast the next day at about 10am.  Its challenging at first, but it is frequently well documented.  But check with your team first.  I also cut out all sugars, lowered my carbs to complex carb only.  So no bread, pasta or rice..and I switched dairy to substitutes such as oat milk.  I avoid cheese, as I'm that made me put on a heck of alot of weight!  I make sure I have plenty of fruit but low glycaemic, plenty of vegetables, mixed beans and lentils.  And meat wise I have chicken thighs and fish.

I drink about 2 litres of water per day.  Some of it is chamomile tea...no caffeine, so no tea or coffee.    

My weight is now about 58kg.  It only took about a year.   

Otherwise, I do 2 sessions of simple meditation, that I went on a course to learn how to do.  It is very easy.

I do yoga 1-2 daily, on my own at home.

At least 1-2 short walks per day.

I'm happy to offer you support and advice if you need any.  Just here if you want and will keep quiet if you don't  

Wow- you sound really committed! Well done . I have joined WeightWatchers and have lost 2 stone in about 3 months. I have cut out all alcohol and processed food. Have upped my fruit and veg intake and have joined our local YMCA  gym. It’s a complete life style change for me, but if I want to live, I have to stick with it. Thank you for your support! XX
