Is A Large Fibroid And Endrometrial Lining A Symptom Of Cancer?
I am 53 yrs old postmenopausal, and have had no periods for 18months and now have had a menstral bleed. A scan has revealed a large fibroid and endrometrial linning of 6mm. so I am off to the specialist for a biopsy test for cancer. As the cut off is 5 mm, it is only just over, is it really likely to be cancer.

hi thanks for writing to us
i can understand how tense the situation is
waiting for the histopathology diagnosis is the only way for it
not all postmenopausal bleeds are carcinogenic
be positive
wait for the reports
