so just had a scan and was told have endometrial thickness of 9mm, I have had some lower pain and brown dishcharge that smelt.. Had a biopsy done today now it’s the waiting game. I am really worried..
I was told that I had an endometrial thickness of 20mm and the biopsy has come back cancer but its very early early stages so easily fixed with surgery hysterectomy but also have Vulva cancer and a cancerous mass on my lymph nodes. So totally unworried about the endrometrial cancer. As yes thick 20mm and it is cancer but very very early stages so easily sorted and fixed so I am hoping all of yours comes back non cancerous
It's so helpful to read about all the experiences of you ladies. Thinking of you all, it's a worrying time. I'm 54 and had a heavy post menopausal bleed 10 weeks ago. Nothing before or since. It's been a long wait to be seen despite being fast tracked. Ultrasound showed womb lining thickening of 9mm. Wasn't expecting it but had to have a biopsy today. I'm very worried about the results which will be within 2 weeks. The biopsy itself was fine and not painful at all. Very light cramping afterwards and no bleeding. I hope not to have to have more tests but I'm thinking it may be just as well to be very sure. They do the biopsy blind so surely something can be missed without hysteroscopy??
I no the feeling its all so very difficult.i have found talking 2 people on here has helped me deal with the uncertanty.im going in on the 2nd or 3rd for another biopsy under general as they didnt get enough of a sample so my wait starts all over again.keep me posted how u r doing.Xx
Ladies, I'm going through the same. I have my biopsy on the 29th of this month. Its just the waiting that's getting to me. I'm trying to keep myself busy and focus on going on my first nursing placement next week but then when I get into bed, it's all I think about.
I dont know if I'm being dramatic but they measured my lining at 30mm which has me concerned. I keep thinking the worst.
Thank you so much. I'm so glad we can voice these concerns here. I'm trying not to let on to my family much that it could be serious. Dont want to worry them until I have to.
I went for tv ultrasound scan on Tuesday as I've been experiencing spotting for about a month. I'm 49 and my periods have been 20 days and 35 days over the past year.
My Gyno didn't sound too concerned due to my age. but suggested to have a scan incase it was due to polyps and have a follow up appointment in 2 weeks.
The scan showed no polyps just a cyst under under 4cm. The thing that concerned me was she mentioned thicknesd of lining which is probably due to my period is due soon she didn't mention how much and not concerned. All she said at the end all looks ok , some gyno sometimes like to have a follow up on cysts but may not as it's under 5cm. and. Nothing about the thickness so assumed ok but I spotted again this morning.
Getting myself worked up..... The follow up appointment is tomorrow.

I just wanted to post an update as I sometimes find it useful for others as I am left ll wondering how people got on.
My appointment went well, the consultant said my thickness due to my period was due and it would probably be heavy as previously.
He has suggested to get a D&C to remove lining as when I had the mirena coil I couldn't get on with it I bleed for most of the time I was on it. He's told me to book myself in and gave me a booklet. I'm not sure what to do as I can live with a couple of days of heavy bleeding but he seems to think it will probably get worse.
He told me my thickness was 12mm when asked him.
I hope I put someone anxiety at rest if they read it in a couple of months time and have a similar experience.
Im going in thurday to have my biopsy done under general feeling a little nervous now,just the thoughtof going through another few weeks of waiting very daunting.hope all you ladies are staying strong.Xx
Did you ask to have a general? I'd really like to have the general as I don't think I'll stand the procedure due to nerves. I spoke to a gynaecologist on Sunday who has referred me for a biopsy and camera. When my GP referred me, she said my lining was 30mm which I guess is the reason for the urgent referral. Hopefully will finally get the date this week. The waiting is the worst. I just want to know what I'm facing.
