Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal imbalance, however, cancer doesn't seem to be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, such abnormalities can be due to hormonal imbalance which may start in the 40s before menopause. Although it's early to look for the hormonal profile. At this outset, an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis should be done to rule out any local cause of irregular bleeding such as fibroids etc.
The possibility of cancer as you fear in such an occasion is too early and is a rare one. So, the common causes should be evaluated first. A detailed gynecological check-up is recommended.
Hope this has answered your query. if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards
