Hi all! New here and wanted to say hello and looking for support as I haven’t told anyone what’s been happening.
My background..
Age 53 with history of PCOS , had both ovaries removed , last one last September 2024. At that point my endometrium was thickened at 11mm but said all clear. Then a few weeks ago I started bleeding out of nowhere (18 months after last period November 2023 and menopausal) it was very heavy and lasted 6 days. Went to docs who referred me on cancer pathway. Three days later I had ct scan which confirmed still 11mm and no polyps or fibroids , referred for Hysteroscopy which I had a week ago now. They said 2/3 week wait for results but I’m so scared. I’ve got a history of PCOS which puts me at higher risk and my mother also passed away with ovarian cancer aged 58 which puts me at higher risk ! I can’t see any wat this can be good news but don’t want to tell anyone and have everyone else worried!
It helps reading the forums though, definitely don’t feel as alone.
