Post menopausal bleeding referral

Mand53
Offline

I'm 53 and have had no periods for 22 months now. 

I've just had some bleeding so went to the Dr's. He was straight to the point and said I was being referred as it could possibly be cancer. 

I feel a bit overwhelmed. I'm waiting for an appointment which will be within 2 weeks.

Worse thing I've done is Google!!! 

Just needed to get it out of my system before bed so I can try and sleep without worrying.

Thank you for this safe place x

    I am 2 years no bleeding in menopause.. over new year bled for a couple weeks not heavy, doctor checked urine once it had finished and said leave it at that if it comes back will send u for further testing.. i have been for a ct scan also for a bad back so doctor said since no abnormalities in scan everything was fine.. i got in-touch wi my local hospital and they are seeing me tomorrow for a biopsy Had one done 5 years ago as lining was 19mm thick. Merina coil was inserted and thing la all settled down till now.. also on scan i have a previous coil fitted over 20 years and they couldn't find it not long after they sacnnwd me and said it must have fallen out.well after 20 years its still floating about as ct scan pocked it up.. but gynaecologist said its not to do with bleeding .

    Oh gosh,

    It's quite scary, but very common by the looks of it.

    Hope you are doing OK.
