Hi
i am aged 51 and post menopausal. I have recently had several bleeds.
I did have an endometrial ablation 25 years ago for heavy bleeding.
I went to the doctor which referred me to the gynaecologist on the two week pathway. This was in November.
so far I have had smear, which was fine. Ultrasound, which showed some thickening. I then had Hysteroscopy and a biopsy of the tissue and to look at my ovaries and womb-there was an issue with the biopsy as they couldn’t get enough cells due to scarring of the endometrial . they also couldn’t see past the scarring and see my ovaries.
I am now waiting for an MRI scan to see what that shows.
Worried sick and an emotional mess.
has anyone else had problems like this?

Hi and welcome to our little corner of the Online Community. Your post reads like so many ladies who have joined this group so you are not alone. You'll find a lovely group of supportive ladies here who have all been exactly where you are now.

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and how you came to find yourself here. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions.

It might also be a good idea to download this booklet Understanding Womb (Endometrial) Cancer. I found it invaluable on my journey.
