51 and 90% sure I have endometrial cancer

Hi there! I’m 51 and had a post menopausal bleed about six weeks ago after being intimate with my partner. I went through the menopause about 10 years ago and had a bilateral salpingo oopherectomy about 8 years ago as I had a benign growth on my left ovary which grew to take up most of my pelvic cavity. Suddenly out of nowhere I have the most horrendous symptoms so am going to have an ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound next week. Just over a week ago I started having very bad constant cramping and shooting pains similar to period pains, am very bloated, lower back pain and am just wiped out. When the go did an internal I was in tears as the pain was excruciating so she referred me on the 2ww. This hasn’t abated at all and it just feels like there is something there. I’ve had a fair amount of trans ultrasounds but I’m terrified about this one next week and not because of what they’ll find but because of the pain. I think I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I do have cancer and what will be will be

  • Hi

    i am menopausal & suddenly now under 2ww for gynae unsure what exactly… bowel was cleared thank goodness but now he’s scanning pelvis & abdomen today. Unsure how long for answers but clearly there are concerns or I wouldn’t have been given this mri so quickly xx

  • Hi 

    what happened with the ultrasounds you had due to post menopausal bleeding and pain you referred to in original post a few months ago? Glad your bowel was cleared and really hope today’s scans go OK and you are getting some pain relief for your symptoms.

    i am 57 with heavy post menopausal bleeding, pelvic and stomach pain and bloating. It’s not great but have scan and biopsy on Thursday.

  • Hello

    Until recently after biopsies were cleared, I had no further tests. 
    Saw gynae consultant 9 days ago he had concerns so no ultrasounds- straight to mri…then yesterday get the call offering me those mri scans today!

    I go & ask today what happens with results & get told report being done asap going straight to the consultant to review this week…

    fingers crossed for your scan with biopsy Thursday- that’s good you’ll get further answers straight away then have to wait for the biopsy’s…

    love C Xx
