Fibroids post menopause

Hi there

I'm 57 I have a large fibroid 14cmx 6cm which seems to be growing! I have endometrial thickening 6 whatever it is. I last had a period 5yrs ago. I have a coil which has now been in 10yrs!! I had a previous fibroid that grew on the upper side of my fallopian tube which was removed while I was 19weeks pregnant 24yrs ago which became strangulated causing sepsis it was a junior Dr who saved our lives back then.

  1. Last few weeks I've been in excruciating pain with my back and niggles in my abdomen. Am not on HRT never have been. On Monday I could no longer cope and ended up in hospital. I seem to be a bit of a head scratched because the fibroid is increasing inside I have been randomly bleeding every now and then. Am now home no further forward to wait now for MRI hysteroscopy and other tests. Am going back to work on Monday because my head is wrecked!! Am absolutely terrified and would love some reassurance or other storys to say someone is or been through the same thing as myself please thank you
  • Hi Nikkiroocat,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing this pain and the difficulties getting answers - I can understand the uncertainty and waiting causing some worries. Hopefully the return to work will help a little with distraction.

    I also hope it's not long to wait for your next appointment(s) and any results to follow.

    My reply here will give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it. We're always here for support and hopefully it has helped a little to write things down.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
