Endometrial Cancer

  1. Hello , I am 64 . Yesterday I had a transvaginal scan as I have been having post menopausal bleeding . This morning I had a call from my GP telling me they were referring me to gynaecology on the 2 week pathway as the scan revealed thickening of the endometrium . I need to now have a hysteroscopy . She said it was an urgent cancer referral . I wasn't expecting the results so quickly . I have had a good cry , pulled up my big girls pants and am bracing myself . 
  2. Simultaneously I have been having dreadful pain that is radiating from my right hip , down through my leg . I have had an xray and im awaiting the results.  I've had an appt with the physio,  she is of the opinion that the two things aren't connected but I'm not so sure . Has anyone had any leg pain with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer .
  3. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences . I hope all are well

    Hi, I understand how you are feeling, I am awaiting hysteroscopy on Monday under General as I am 60 and have had a couple of pink discharge and slight cramping to left side. I have often wondered if over the years urine infections and blood in urine has actually been the onset of this if turns out to be C. Its scarey. I havent had pain in the legs but if we start putting every ailment or pain and ache it would always come up as C in google search. My womb thickness is 14MM. Have you had a date for your hysteroscopy? what did your xray say? i had ultraound which showed my womb lining 14mm.  Waiting and wondering is awful x

    Hello  thankyou for your reply.Im trying not to overthink it . Like you say google is not a friend sometimes lol .

    I have a hysteroscopy appointment this coming Monday , fairly quick . I'm dreading it tbh . 

    I haven't had the results of my hip xray back .

    Hope your hysteroscopy goes ok . I have just been told to take paracetamol so fingers crossed .Despite having 3 children with no epidural back in the day it doesn't get any easier 

    My ultrasound results were 5.3mm and some fluid

    I bled quite heavily during and after which was a bit of a shock ..

    Good luck , hope it all turns out OK for both of us .

    Let me know how you get on . Take care .

    Hello Lola , I hope all went well yesterday.You were right to opt for the GA .It was very traumatic and painful . I wouldn't have another without anaesthetic. 

    I'm ok,  the uterus is looking healthy  . . She took a biopsy but she's not expecting anything to come from that . 

    I do hope yours went ok .All the best to you .x
