Hi all, I'm just really seeking some support.
I am 50, perimenopausal, and have been having heavy periods and irregular bleeding for the last 6 months, along with back and pelvic pain.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 19, so heavy periods, among other things, have always been an issue. I had my first coil fitted 4 years ago to help with this, and two years ago, it was replaced, and I stated using estrogen gel to help with perimenopause symptoms.
Was sent for an internal ultra sound, and my endometrium has come back as thickened (16mm). My estrogen bloods have come back in normal range.
I have been placed on the 2 week cancer pathway and have a hysteroscopy booked with a gynaecological oncologist on Tuesday.
I am trying to keep busy but am becoming increasingly more and more anxious and worried.
Any advice or anyone had similar thing that felt able to share would be much appreciated.
Hi Lucy699 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It's natural to feel anxious and worried but I found keeping busy doing things that I enjoyed helped me.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the womb cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any problems navigating the community just let me know and I'll be happy to help.
((hugs))
