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 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.
