Worried: I am 74 and have post menopausal bleeding

Hi, I am 74 and have post menopausal bleeding.  I have seen my GP and she did an internal examination, she said my cervix is inflamed and saw blood around it. She has urgently referred me for scan to see what could be going on.  I am so worried it could be cancer because of my age as I read the longer it is after menopause you are more likely to have something serious going on. It is also painful after sex and have to run to toilet and sometimes don’t make it in time. I know a lot of you are younger and things haven’t been serious for you but because I am this age I am really worried. 
Thanks  for listening.
