Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about the cancer. And ovarian cyst looks benign mostly. Get done repeat ultrasound after 3 months and if cyst is same or decreasing in size than no need to worry about cancer.
And about thickened endometrium, I think it is due to menopause only.
Your age is also approaching menopause, and delayed menses with thickened endometrium, all suggest menopause only.
So no need to worry for malignancy. You are mostly having starting of menopause.
