Uterine cancer

Hi Hatfield

I am sorry to hear that you have had some bleeding and have had an urgent referral to gynaecology.

I was treated for endometrial cancer in 2022 so can understand your worries. 

The Online Community is divided into forums and may I suggest that you post in the Womb group. I will pop a link below. 

(+) Womb cancer forum | Macmillan Online Community

In the group there will be many ladies who will want to offer support and it does help to share with others who have experienced similar. 

There is also some information here about the testing that I underwent.

It can be a worrying time going through the testing but I think the thing to remember is that they are trying to rule out the most serious potential causes first. Not all bleeding is due to cancer but it is important that the tests are done. Endometrial cancer, when caught at an early stage is a very treatable cancer for most ladies.

We do have the Support Line, if you feel like talking things through would help. The details are below.

Don't panic just yet! I had the same and mine turned out to be bleeding fibroids.

I am 10 years out of menopause would fibroids still cause problems 

So was I. I was 78

Thank you for your reply trying to be positive hard time of year but hopefully I get the courage and strength to deal with this 

Anyone finding it difficult today I am still waiting on appointment bleeding was away for 3 days now back so worried and anxious 

Hi Hatfield 

The best place for you to make your post would be in the womb group which you’ve already joined. More ladies will see it there, as members tend to move away from the “new to the community” forum after they have joined the groups which more directly relate to their situation. 

I’ll post the link to the womb group again so you can find it easily-
