Im 52 and I have been bleeding since start of the year. Thought is was to do with menopause, asked GP to take mirena coil out as I thought it was maybe the cause. No change, gp made referral in April and said it was red flagged and I shud be seen within 2/3 weeks......

So 16 weeks later got a hysteroscopy. And have jst got a diagnosis of womb cancer.

Doc has told me I will have to have an mri. And a hysterectomy prob within the next 6 weeks. 

Im relieved to find out what is going on, cuz its been a difficult few months waiting for an appointment.

Im now jst nervous in case mri shows anything up, hopefully won't be waiting too long. 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Macmillan community.

    I can see that you have joined the womb group as this is your diagnosis, so I’d suggest you might want copy your post there to connect with ladies in a similar situation.

    I hope that everything will go well with your upcoming hysterectomy, and you’ll find it helpful to be in the womb group where I know you’ll get lots of support from the lovely ladies there.
