Glad your dad still around. I'm really missing mine. But definitely need to try and stop getting ahead of myself and thinking of the outcome 

Hi hope you are feeling ok.

I hope you don't think I am interfering, but I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer a little while back and having a hysterectomy next week. I am older than you but peri menopausal, I put my increased bleeding down to that and with lockdown waited longer than I should. From what I have read and I am no expert so please don't take it as advice but any post menopausal bleeding should be checked out, MOST causes are not cancer, but obviously some are. If it was me I would ask the GP to refer you for an internal ultra sound scan you could ask if she could do this via the 2 week wait( this was how my mass was first seen ) and then appropriate referrals and tests come quickly after IF there is any concern. Endometrial cancer is often caught early and is often treated with just a hysterectomy. It is a scary road to start walking down, but remember most people with abnormal bleeding don't have cancer, but if it is the earlier it is caught the easier the treatment. I won't say don't worry, I'm thinking of nothing else and to be honest I'm scared of how things are going to be, but they hope I will just need the surgery and then be rid of it. I also have a teenager, I didn't tell him until I had a date for surgery and had histology back from biopsy so I knew what it was, unfortunately that surgery got cancelled, but it's now next week.

let me know how you get on, I know you will be anxious but try to tell yourself it may not be bad and if it is you will straight away be on a path where specialists will support you and do everything they can to cure you. Xx

Thank you. The dr did say that they are quick with appointments. If I still feel bad tomorrow I might phone the hospital and ask when I'm likely to get an appointment. I'm being referred to the post menopausal bleeding clinic . I'm so worried 

Hi Rach 18, in case it helps I went through something similar for first time back in 2014 when it turned out I had a polyp and wasn't menopausal after all - just getting there despite a 12 month gap since my last period! Then last year after a 3 year gap bleeding started again. Had all the tests, scans, a hysteroscopy and another polypectomy but no obvious causes although I continued to have scans to monitor a very small cyst that's since shrunk naturally. Meanwhile, although blood tests show I'm definitely menopausal, and despite identification of endometrial atrophy yet a higher oestradiol level than would normally be expected, I've continued to suffer from cyclical bleeding with all the associated cramping, bloating, breast swelling, PMT, headaches, clumsiness etc.. Saw Consultant again last week but he seems to be scratching his head and Doctor Google isn't helping. I'm scheduled for another hysteroscopy and meanwhile just trying to breathe deeply and stay calm ( easier said than done). 

Thanks for that. You sound like you've been through it a lot!  I phoned out hospital today to see if referral had gone through , which it hadn't yet. The dr had told me that you wait no longer than 2 weeks. When I asked how long it would be for my first consultation she said it could be September!  Not sure what I'm to do. My stomach cramps have eased and back to more brown blood now but still with back ache. 

It's always easy to imagine the worst isn't it? I'm trying very hard to live in the present and not think about it - failing miserably when I'm on this forum, of course. Still from everything I have read out there on the web, the odds are in favour of a benign explanation.

I'm definitely banning myself from google. It really does make you feel worse! Never going to find something good.
