Hello Mammadoc1, 

It's great that things moved fast after you experienced this bleed 4 weeks ago and you were fast tracked and didn't have to wait too long for the hysteroscopy. There have been many members of our forum who have posted after endometrial thickening was found in their scan and I hope that they will pop by and share their experience with you. Make sure that your medical team are aware that you take Tamoxifen as a cancer preventative and that you have a strong family history of breast, ovarian and colon cancer. It is normal to be anxious when you are waiting for results and answers and every passing day can feel like a lifetime and it can be slightly destabilizing to be faced with the consultant and radiographer's silence or vague replies but they may not have all the pieces of the puzzle to be able to give you all the details at the moment. 

I know it's really hard but try if you can not to anticipate that it might be cancer as there are so many other things that could explain your symptoms so the best thing to do - but it is easier said than done - is to keep distracted and focused on doing things you enjoy while you are waiting for these important results. I hope that you manage to get some sleep as sleep deprivation can make your anxiety worse and may prevent you from thinking clearly. Do talk to your GP if you feel that things are not getting better and you are struggling to fall asleep. I would also suggest you follow our helpful tips which will I hope help you cope while waiting for important news.

Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

Best wishes,

Hi, I have my appointment on Wednesday and I am very anxious I too am post menopausal and take tamoxifen due to diagnosis of Breadt cancer 2022.  
when you had your appointment did you have a scan at the same time.  
mum so sorry to hear what you have and are going through.  Helen

Hi Helen, thank you. I still haven't got my results but I'm hoping they will be here soon. I had a triage nurse call me initially the day my GP referred me then my scan the day after and I saw the consultant two days after that. I had my op the following week. I went to my GP on the 17th October and my op 31st. I hope everything is OK for your scan. I have had then before and although this one really hurt my previous ones never have. Thanks again for the reply I really appreciate it. Take care.
