Hello,
If I explain a little about my background. I’m 30, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, now in remission. Since Jan 2020 I have been on hormone therapy Zoladex/letrozole and I’ve had abnormal bleeding throughout. In a medical menopause
Today I had a biopsy and they’re being taken to the MDT next week. Having already been diagnosed with cancer once I’m going out of my mind and wondered if anyone has had a similar experience and am I worrying over nothing?!
thanks in advance x
Hello ECE
Welcome to the group, don't think your post is being ignored, it might be no-one has read it just yet hence no answers.
Hopefully you'll find lots of support on this forum, cancer was a bolt out of the blue to me (I'm 67, no previous problems, just a slight bleed, post menopause) I don't know how I would have coped without the support and friendship of the ladies here.
Sending gentle hugs your way, Barb xx

Hi I'm assuming that you have already got your results? I had breast cancer in 2016 and have been taking Letrozole ever since (post menopausal). Biopsies were taken yesterday after a thickening of my womb lining was detected (4mm) and the appearance of 'bruising'. I've been told to wait 2 weeks for the results although I'll be contacting the Breast Care Nurses on Monday to let them know.
I hope you are well.
Kind regards
Gertie
Hi how long did you have to wait until your saw the gyno for the biopsy please?
Hi! I was at a 'one stop' clinic so I went straight from the ultrasound to the biopsy (hysteroscopy).
Hi Gertie, how are you doing? I've got it hysteroscopy on Wednesday. Post menopausal and 3 years into tamoxifen. Been bleeding and 19mm uterine thickness :(
