I'm post menopausal 60 years old. Been on HRT for about 5 years, for hot flushes . told GP about some bleeding and was referred for an ultrasound. Had last Tuesday . Next day GP messages me to say I've been 2 ww for follow up as fibroids and thickening of the womb present. The notes also say unusual texture present. The 2 week wait will be a 4 week wait as hospital is behind. ! On top of this I have just been told I have angina ! So with ongoing tests and wait for CT scan and meds I have to avoid stress !! I'm also a carer for my husband who has Parkinson's, so trying to keep it all together , when. I feel like shutting myself away somewhere.
Hi Lurcherlover
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you have some bleeding and that the ultrasound has shown some thickening.
What would normally happen next is a hysteroscopy/biopsy to have a closer look and to take some samples and to hopefully rule out any cancer. I wonder if it is worth contacting your hospital and asking whether you could be put on a short notice cancellation list? Some hospitals are able to do this and it may mean that you have the tests done earlier.
Sometimes it all can feel like it all happens at one. Am sorry to hear about the angina. It must feel difficult to cope with it all whilst also caring for your husband.
We do have a Support Line if you feel like chatting to someone would help. They are lovely on there. The details are below.
If there is anything you need or want to ask about, please do so.
