Endometrial Cancer investigation pathway

So, I’ve had left sided belly pain for a while, had blood tests, all OK, had FIT test, all OK, had ultrasound scan, found endometrial lining at 20mm, but I’ve had no bleeding. GP says I’m now on Cancer investigation pathway. Next step is gynaecology appointment, probably including a biopsy, possibly camera thingy. I’m 70. I just think this will mean a hysterectomy, feeling very scared about it all.

  • Hello Dempo

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health problems. While it's good to hear that lots of the tests you've had haven't raised any immediate cause for concern, it sounds sensible that the GP has now referred you for further investigations to try and get to the bottom of the issue. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your appointment with the gynaecology specialist, and they will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    If you think it might help to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch Dempo and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
