A few weeks ago I had some 'unexplained post menopausal bleeding'. It only lasted a few days and was quite light but decided to get it checked out at my local GP surgery. The Nurse Practioner was very efficient and arranged an urgent referral for a Pelvic Transvaginal Ultrasound. I had the Ultrasound yesterday and also saw a consultant who took biopsies from the lining of my womb. She explained that my cervix looked OK but there was thickening in the endometrium which wasn't a polyp so the biopsies would be checking for cancer. She explained that if the biopsies did show cancer then I would need a hysterectomy. I should get the results next week. I thought it might be cancer but it's still quite shocking when you hear that word. I'm 69 and healthy and, apart from not having children, I don't have any of the risk factors associated with endometrial cancer. I realise it's early days and it's yet to be confirmed but, obviously, my head's in a bit of a whirl! Any words of advice would be appreciated!
