What were your first signs of endometrial cancer?

I was more than fifteen years post menopausal, and had very light spotting started on a Friday. I called my gynecologist on Monday and saw her on Tuesday. The physical and ultrasound examinations were normal. She did biopsy and one week later abnormal results came back. She called immediately and also called the surgeon’s office, and I saw the surgeon that afternoon. A total hysterectomy was scheduled within a month. The pathology report came back ten days later after the surgery and I was diagnosed with stage IIIb endometrial cancer. I recommend see a gynecologist right away when having post menopausal spotting or bleeding.

What kind of biopsy did you have, one done in the office? I am in a similar situation. I'm 74 and have had two episodes of very light spotting. Saw my gynecologist and had a normal exam and normal transvaginal ultrasound. She didn't think a biopsy was necessary due to normal ultrasound. I didn't want the in office biopsy because I had one done before and it was very painful. She said she'd do a biopsy under sedation if I wanted one. I plan to message her about setting that up.
What is your treatment plan for the cancer after your surgery? Thanks.

@jc100 Thank you for sharing your symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Your gynecologist acted quickly which is so reassuring. Did you have any other treatments after surgery?
