Signs and symptoms of womb cancer

Good afternoon all , I am a 54 yo female I had some post menopause bleeding my gp has recently referred me 3 wees ago for a scan and to get biopsy I think ?  I am a little scared and I don’t have any one to talk to . 
what I’m wondering is what symptoms did anyone have as iv not been feeling well for about 6 months, it started with painful legs that were stopping me from going on my daily walks my go tested for blood clots this was negative. 
I take cramps like having a very bad period and flank pain I also was passing blood in my urine with no infection, since then iv got pain and heaviness feeling inside and im so very tired i have been in folic acid for 3 months but im so exhausted I can’t really do much I also have temperature that comes and goes iv had this since nov generally I feel quite unwell . The cramps also come and go with no more bleeding thankfully but some days I need to stay in bed the pain is so bad my stomach feels very heavy. I also have been taking headaches at night and it something iv never had bother with . 
I went through the menopause when I was 28 and went on h r t when I was about 45 but took blood clots in my lungs after 5 years so was taken off the I was doing just fine without them . 
If anyone could offer some advice I would be very grateful. I wish you all a lovely evening

  • Hello Shezzah123,

    I'm sorry to hear of how unwell you've been feeling. If you'd like to read more about urgent referrals, you can do so on our website. It will give you an idea of what to expect. We have information about the womb biopsy test, which I hope will be useful as well. When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be natural to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the best person to speak to is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful and that your next appointment goes ok. Do let us know how is goes.
