2 different cancers at same time

Less than one minute read time.

11 Dec 2025

I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma x 2 after I had a thyroidectomy 9 weeks ago. Both tumors were confined to the thyroid and thankfully no further treatment. Then I was referred on a 2 week pathway for seperate issue of suspected endometrial cancer I had hysteroscopy 2 days ago. Not much was said at the procedure as I found the whole experience very traumatising I was in so much pain all I remember her saying was cervix looked good and she took 2 biopsies i was almost passing out through the pain. I had been admitted on ward 3 days before hysteroscopy for having 2 massive bleeds. Ive come home now and im still no clearer on anything my lining wasn't massively thick 7.4mm I think its more of fact I had no bleeding for over a year and then recently started having pain and bleeding after intercourse. Im 48 years old not really sure what im asking maybe just other peoles experience in the unlikely event I have cancer in a totally different place at same time

Thanks
