Hi I have posted on here before because last year I was losing blood via the bowel, I already have a stable optic nerve glioma treated with radiotherapy. I am 55 post menopausal and as the radiotherapy damaged my pituitary gland i have not had a period for many years. this week i saw my G.P because for the second time in 6 months i noticed vaginal bleeding after goinhg to the loo. This time though the blood was almost black so to me i would say old blood. I have been referred under the two week rule for a transvaginal scan under the gynae team. I have bee experiencing a lot of lower back pain and my upper abdomen is very bloated although ultrasound could not explain why my tummy is so swollen. I was asked if i have lost weight but it's the complete opposite, 10 kilos in about 7 months with no change in diet or activity level, my food intake is minimal due to other medical issues. I was wondering if anyone else is going through this or has a similar experience.

best wishes
