Waiting for D&C post menopausal bleeding & thickened lining- wanting to hear similar stories

Welcome adornedwithsilver. Waiting IS so hard. It sounds like you have had a hard time. I wonder if your gynecologist might do a hysterectomy anyway to stop the bleeding. I would ask about it. And then you don't have to worry about cancer. I had no pain so had a different experience than you. The hysterescopy, I think, is done under local anesthesia so at least you won't have pain during the procedure. I would ask about that. 1 in 10 biopsies are positive for endometrial cancer so there is a 90% chance it is negative. Good luck.

Hi, I hope your procedure on 1/8 went well. I was reading your post and saying, yep, me too. I'm 58, post-menopausal and started spotting after being in menopause for 8 yrs. I too was on HRT, estradiol and progesterone, for 2 1/2yrs. My endometrium is 15.6mm thick. I also have endometriosis. I have cramps and a fullness, and my best friend is my heating pad (next to my 2 little dogs and one who is 10 lbs and walks on my stomach to get to the couch arm rest - that will stop soon!). I really hope you get/got good results. I had a biopsy and my results weren't ideal as I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, grade 1, though, which I'm told is good for bad news. I am scheduled for a full hysterectomy on Feb 5. Oh, I didn't really want to post either, but I don't know anyone else in a similar situation, so I posted. I like what you said that if it is cancer, it is very survivable. That was comforting to read.

I went to get a mammogram so that I would have that done before the surgery, just in case they needed it. I always had to have that done before the gyne would prescribe the HRT. Well, they found a small mass and the radiologist thinks it might be cancer. Sorry for being a debbie downer, but I need to get this out as it is swimming around in my head and I don't want to burden my family as they are already worried and my 3 brothers don't even know what to say. When I told my youngest bro about the endo cancer, I think he got a crash course on menopause! more than he probably wanted to know. Anywho, I have the breast biopsy in 3 days and I kind of already know it's cancer - as just have a feeling. I had a feeling before the uterine biopsy and that turned out corresponding to my feeling. I hope you post again. I hope you are doing ok. I think even though we are strangers on this site, we have a commonality in experiences that make us similar and able to relate. Blessings to everyone.
