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 Tina

    Good to hear from you and glad you have an appointment now. Hopefully we will both be fine and it will put our minds at rest. I have no idea why some go for ultrasound and some hysteroscopy. Guess it’s down to the hospital. I thought mine would be an ultrasound scan but guess they can take biopsy whilst doing the hysteroscopy? I have decided to stop my HRT as don’t think I really need it, as no major symptoms of menopause. I’ve been on it years so will see what they say next week.

    I hope you feel better now you have an appointment and get to enjoy your week off too!
