post menopausal bleeding

I found a tiny amount of blood on toilet paper after wiping myself started menopause about 1 year ago with no problems and never suffered period pains either. Called gp who told me to come in that day and bring  a urine sample. She asked me a few questions about history of cancer in my family then mentioned my grandad. She clearly had me mixed up with another patient ! 

She then went on to examine me and said she could see some blood and also the stick thing for urine sample showed blood.  She said I would get an appt within 2 weeks but it looked like it was cancer :-(

My appt is this afternoon which is excatly 2 weeks to the day of my doctors appt and also my daughters 13th birthday.

I have hardly slept for 2 weeks and cant stop crying 

  • I'm sorry about the stress and worry this has caused over the last couple of weeks Smiler but I hope your appointment went well and they were able to put your mind at ease.

    Do let us know how you got on when you can.

    We're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed your GP was wrong on this occasion.

    Kind regards,
