I am 51 years old and very healthy and other than a C-section 27years ago have never had any health issues.
I am post menopausal (2years) and suddenly had abdominal discomfort and bleeding. Due to feeling bloated especially on the left went to GP.
2 week cancer pathway - Have had a vaginal ultrasound which identified thickening of the uterine wall. Due to not a clear view of ovaries had an abdominal ultrasound then a hystroscopy during which a biopsy was taken. No polyps and everyone kept asking if I am on HRT which I found strange.
Received a copy of letter send to my GP after first appointment and ultrasound with plan of second ultrasound and hystroscopy. It stated a uterine wall thickness of 15.3mm which according to my research is significant in women of don’t take HRT.
I continue to feel discomfort on my left side and bloated. Before the letter I was more relaxed and now I can’t help but feel more anxious as I wait for biopsy results. I have not discussed it with friends or family because I rather have clear answers regardless of the results.
