Post menopausal bleeding at 55

After 11 months of no period had a heavy period for 5 days. Went to the drs was sent for ultrasound. Lining 5.4mm thick, fibroids and a pea like cyst on right ovary. Dr used safety netting for endometriosis cancer. Now im worried sick waiting for the biopsy. Just thought the bleed was the end of the menopause!!! Any thoughts? 

  • Hi Dollysocks,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I know the uncertainty and waiting for more information is never easy - I hope you are getting on as OK as can be, and that it's not long to wait to get your appointment and the results to follow.

    I'm sure there will be others here who may be going through something similar, or who have similar experience to share. Hopefully they'll see your post and send a reply.

    In the meantime we have a post on the forum about how to cope while waiting for news, in case this is helpful.

    We also have nurses available if you'd like to talk things through with someone. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5 (excluding bank holidays).

    Wishing you all the best,
