Scared: scan last week revealed my lining is too thick at 11mm

Hi, I am 47, and had a 3 day scant bleed after about 2 years of no periods, I have had a scan last week and lining is 11mm and have been told that it’s too thick. I had a horrible phone call from GP surgery, where I was they can’t rule out cancer and have to be seen under the 2 week rule. The previous week I was told there was nothing sinister. I am petrified, I have other complex medical conditions and I am finding it hard to cope. I ended up in a and E on Tuesday with a horrendous asthma attack  I know was caused by anxiety. It spoke with another GP yesterday who said that it can’t be ruled out that is cancer but due to ongoing meds, he thinks there may well be another cause. I am petrified and so so anxious I haven’t heard about appointment and am just driving myself mad, reading everything possible and making myself more and more worried. I don’t know if I am post menopausal or not last year I had fish 9 now it’s 20 I haven’t bled for a while but this has happened all throughout my adulthood I have had years without bleeds and I thought it was because I had pcos but apparently  I don’t have it, I am so so scared. I am overweight, and haven’t had children so am at risk.
