Hi everyone worries about bleeding after menopause we all have transvaginal ultrasound and biopsys hoping and praying and many times it turns out it's not sinister xxx well I have been where you ladies are worrying and it's takin over my life xx I am now only understanding how biopsys work I had appointment with my consultant she explained that the sample they take from uterus lining is just part of the picture although it's can be negative for cancer they still need to investigate so I am having a d&c also a polyp removal what that means is they will scrape the whole of my lining out and take the polyp out send it all of th be tested there will be no where for the cancer to hide and that will be the end then as if it is it will be a hysterectomy and it's will be found sooner than later I have to face my anxiety and fears if I want live again xxx god bless us all xxxxx

    Dear Kerry...it's very stressful isn't it....I've had 4 lots of polyps removed via hysteroscopies, all polyps were not cancerous ( they are mostly not cancer).

    so try not to worry, you doctors are just being cautious and you want to get rid of the polyp anyway if you've been spotting or had tummy pain. Also if you're having a D &C they won't scape all your lining (endometrium).... That's called an ablation.

    Take deep breaths, distract yourself with things you like doing, you will be fine x
