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.

That sounds great.  You're doing really well.  And yes, I'm committed to do the best that I can to live a healthy and happy life too. You're welcome to support if you need it.  Feel free to reach out if you need to talk.  There's alway the Eve Appeal if you need to speak to Nurses who specialise in women's conditions.  Just take one day at a time, and be kind to your body.  You can conquer this Wiseowl1 Xx

Well I had to go to my gp’s for an ecg as part of my annual health check this morning. There were 3 attempts and then nurse said she was contacting the dr to check the ecg as she thought it was maybe ‘playing up’. I sat for 20 mins in the waiting room and was then told to go home and they would contact me if needed as dr had not answered yet. Checking my nhs app on getting home I noticed there was a document added from 26th of this month. It states that my biopsy was benign with no signs of cancer or changing cells. I am so relieved as is hubby. Wishing you all the very best for your up coming hysterectomy and for everyone else still waiting for tests and results. We are truly blessed by our NHS service. 

I’m seeing the gynaecologist on Friday … I’ll be thinking of you

Hi MillekA, I just read your news and the latest on your biopsy...it must be such a relief after what must have been a difficult journey.  It just goes to show that many of the symptoms we discuss on here are very often benign.  I suppose all these things make us stronger and wiser.  I'm sure if the surgery did your ECG it would be nice and regular now you're through this tumultuous episode!  And I'm also sure this will be a comfort to other women on this forum.  

Well today was my day! I went to see the consultant … I have a 1a grade cancer in my uterus, which will be removed in its entirety, along with my ovaries and fallopian tubes, somewhere around the 14th of August! Amazing service from the NHS… Which just goes to show when it works well it works really well. My prognosis is extremely good. I will have to do work hard some weight… I feel somewhat aggrieved at the assumption that I do nothing about it at all.I gained my weight after having two nervous breakdowns whilst  in an abusive marriage and taking massive doses of antidepressants. My weight has been fairly static since. However, it’s my second chance and I’m gonna grab it with both hands.  Good luck to everyone else in my position. I have found your support and comments extraordinarily supportive and for that I could great thanks.

Ali G I had exactly the surgery that you will be having.  I had it done on 17 May and feeling good about things now.  I had robotic surgery which is like keyhole.  Honestly you will be fine and the outcome for this type of cancer is very good.  And in your case it was caught early so even better.  After surgery you will really need to take it easy and rest.  Please make sure you have some good people around you to help out and be there for you when you need it.  I wish you the very best moving forward and stay positive.

Positive news AliG. My hysterectomy is 19th August… we can compare notes! Yes I agree with you re: doctors and weight. I’ve been made to feel that I’ve sort of brought this on myself… and to an extent I have. But I’m constantly trying  to lose weight and am currently doing so successfully. Also I genuinely had NO idea about the link between weight and endometrial cancer. I feel there needs to be much more awareness raised about it; rather like smoking/ lung cancer. 
Good luck- keep in touch on here! Xx 

Completely agree. I’ve been overweight for a long time … but my gp said it was more important to keep on an even keel mentally … and I’m fine now I’m divorced! Hahahaha! Yes let’s swap notes! 

Thank you so much for your positivity!

Hi, like you, I had no idea about the link between weight and endometrial cancer, there’s not enough information out there. I too, am trying (yet again) to lose the weight and am going with a combination of diet, exercise (eventually) and Mounjaro. Yes, I’m doing injections to support my journey. Got to get on top of this situation. So far, so good for me.

Take care everyone xx
