Another cancer??

Deb- are you pre or peri-menopausal? I ask because most endometrial cancer is found in post menopausal women.  These are the possibilities: your biopsy, which I assume will be either a d&c or an endometrial biopsy will show whether it is nothing or it is something - perhaps endometrial cancer. If it is endometrial cancer, it was probably caught extremely early - before you experienced any symptoms - that is the thing with endometrial cancer - there are symptoms.

I too was being monitored - and over the course of 3 years had two d&cs due to endometrial thickening, my gyn stopped with the transvaginal ultrasounds and instead put me on the normal protocol for observation of women on tamoxifen which is wait for symptoms. and that is how my endometrial cancer was discovered -  I experienced spotting. ultimately had a total hysterectomy and need nothing more than regular exams as follow-up.  And here I am, doing fine and WHAT EVER is found, YOU WILL DO FINE TOO.

So sorry to hear that you are so frightened. It's unfortunate that your doctor didn't prepare you better by informing you that if there is a problem, it is fairly simple to deal with. I experienced uterine bleeding after 2 and 1/2 years on tamoxifen. I immediately called my oncologist who told me to stop taking tamoxifen and to schedule an appointment with my gynecologist. I saw the gynecologist the next day, he did an endometrial biopsy in his office, informed me that it was unlikely to be cancer and if it was, it was very treatable. He sent me for a transvaginal ultrasound which showed uterine polyps. He removed the polyp. The endometrial biopsy proved benign. My oncologist recommended I discontinue the tamoxifen, indicating that I had the benefits of over two years on the medication. Two months later I experienced more bleeding, again saw my gynecologist, another ultrasound, and a second polyp removed.My Dr. told me that this was clearly caused by the tamoxifen, said it might happen again but not to worry as it is very treatable. At worst, a hysterectomy would cure uterine cancer. That is easy for a doctor to say, especially to someone past childbearing years, but it is in fact true. I sometime wish that I could have competed five years of Tamoxifen for my DCIS but do not think it was worth the risk of more uterine issues. I wish you the best and hope this helps.
