Endometrial cancer - what were your symptoms?

I'm 62 years old. Went through menopause in middle 40's. No pregnancies. I had spotting about three years ago when I missed a couple does of my HRT. Since then everythings been fine. I woke up a week ago Friday morning with bleeding. Not just spotting bright red blood that gussed out lasted 7 days. Called my Gyn/OB she ordered a transvaginal ultrasound. It showed endomentrial thickening. Saw her last Thursday for an edomentrail biopsy in office.  She wasn't about to perform due to small cervix (couldn't get enough clamps on to open up to see endometrial lining. I'm now scheduled for a hysteroscopy under general ansthesia on the 16th to evaluate my endomentrial lining (It never occured to me to ask how much the lining was thickened). I have some tenderness on the lower left side and I have abdomenal bloating like some of the others on this forum have mentioned. I'm trying to think positive that it's just a hormone imbalance. I guess I'll find out the end of the week. 

Im 28 and had recently had abnormal spotting in between my periods. I have neever had this before but have always had heavy periods. I went to the OBGYN and she set up an ultrasound. I have a 10mm polyp on my uterus wall. I immediately thought to myself..cancer. She put me on Birth control, and told me i have nothing to worry about but i cant get it out of my head. 

She told me that the Birthcontrol might shrink the polyp, And i was set up for another ultrasound in January. If it does not shrink she will remove and do a biopsy. I am so scared. I really want to have children, i am getting married in less then a year, and I am so terrified it could be cancer. I do trust my doctor, but you never know. 

I had a complete hysterectomy in 2004 after suffering in pain for years. In 2015 I started getting these pains in my pelvic and low abdomen area- felt like the endometriosis was coming back. Then I began having excruciating pain in my lower left pelvic and left hip that goes into my back- for about 10 months now. Dr. Says it can't be endo cuz I don't have any female parts, but I've been reading on here that it can be. Also, I have now begun to have light pink blood these past couple of weeks? Should I be really worried?

I am a 53 year old Woman, who has been having heavy uterine bleeding since September 6th,,now it is Dec.22nd, at first unusual menstrual cylce thinking peri menopause, ,then I work in mfg. Endiscopes and am required to wear all white clean room garments. I was bleeding though all my super plus tampon,pads and clothing. So after 1 months made a Drs. Appointment, sent to the ER,labs done and vaginal ultrasound, discussed after next day appointment with a gynecologist app.that it was looking suspicious most likely cancer by visual exam Many biopsies done ,,Stat on results..came back negative.That was in Oct..bleeding stopped for only 2 weeks. Now I am seeing a onocologist for breast issues and have lost my Mom at age 56,in 1994 from matasized breast cancer, also 2 siblings had full bi lateral mascetomies. .and I was facing calcification found in my breast as well ..was forced to get a 2nd opinion for heavy eturine bleeding 2nd opinion over a desk..agreed possible Miranda iud to help control my heavy bleeding with progesterone. . My 2nd opinion Dr. Suggested to my own gyn.to perform a sonohystergram, went on 12/21/16 and the light pinkish watery blood was all backed up and the only test were able to perform without adding extra fluids into me which could backup on bloidstream? was an external AND internal ultrasound AGAIN. Dr called in by Technican to view the image now on a flat screen monitor on a wall..so the image shows a very thick 13mm cervix, (AGAIN) MORE labs,,anemia,,and no fibroid tumors but very suspicious lesions? on my endometrial lining. STAT appointment made for the OR ..biopsies were done today with D&C..now waiting on Pathology results,,but no polyps found either during procedure , hmm.making me sign all witnessed paperwork,,Dr. Apologizing for not being more pro active and saying biopsies done in the exam room in Oct...is not a safe way to collect a specimans,,since doing it randomly, she could of missed the affected area..so this is where I am tonight,,Not going to be much of a Christmas. .dealing withup upcoming mastomy being scheduled soon with Genetic testing.,Dr. Mentioned if a hysterectomy is to be performed can't be performed local to the difficulty ,,so any words of encouragement? I feel I am basically waiting on what stage I'm at for cancer ? Does any of this sound familiar. .pls.give me advice?

I was 62 and it had been 15 years since my final period (2000) when I noticed tiny spotting on my panties. I barely noticed it, as there was no discoloration when I wiped. It happened again the next day, so I called my doctor to be on the safe side. This was a Thursday and she had me come in the next day. If I had not called her, I would have dismissed the whole event, as there was no further spotting. She saw something she didn’t like and sent me for a biopsy. The diagnosis came back as complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia. I was sent to a gyno and she and I made the decision to go ahead with surgery, just to be on the safe side and because of the stage of the hyperplasia. Three weeks later, I had a da Vinci Robotic-Assisted? surgery, which removed my uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The surgeon did a deeper biopsy and it was found to be stage 1 endometrial cancer.

A couple of days later I noticed an obvious absence of a possible symptom of the cancer that I had tried to cover up for months. THE ODOR. The smell was gone. I must have been able to smell my cancer, but I didn’t know that’s what it was. It was an almost period-like damp, dusky odor of old blood, mixed with something else I couldn’t pinpoint. It wasn’t strong, but it was there for quite awhile before my diagnosis. I figured it was one more post-menopausal issue to grin and bear.

I should have been more observant. 37 years prior to this time, I had surgery to have children and had suffered from severe endometriosis in my youth and had awful periods. I also had tumors and had part of an ovary removed as a result.

Now I know better. Don’t grin and bear anything! Tell your doctor any and everything that seems different. You just never know.

Hello, I know this post is kind of old but I'm hoping to see what you think of this... I am 28 years old and have pcos, delivered two babies and have had nothing but issues with my period. Over the past year things have gotten worse my periods happen every 3-4 months but now they last for 2-3 months at a time and when they start they are extremely heavy with large clots. I've been on my period for three months now with a fairly slmon/pink-red colour. Earlier this year I had a brown/black discharge.I've had an ultrasound done and it came back stating that I have two fibroids and a thick lining 13mm. The endocrinologist I've seen sent me for an ultrasound and didn't like the thickness of the lining so they referred me to a gyno and is having a biopsy done. I'm very alarmed because they called me to do the biopsy as a rush as it was only the day after my ultrasound. Any thoughts on this? I have no one else to relate to when it comes to this so any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
