@leeosteo I reviewed the ultrasound report and it indicates that endometrial thickness was 18mm at the fundus which is the top of the uterus opposite of the cervix. The report indicates « abnormal endometrium. Worrisome for malignancy. Further evaluation is advised ». I had the D & C 4 weeks later and that’s when the pathology report indicated endometrial adenocarcinoma.

My endometrial lining was at the high end of what was considered « normal » for post-menopause. My gynecologist wasn’t alarmed by the ultrasound because he thought I did not have the usual risk factors but in fact I did. I was menopausal about about age 57 and I have never had children. These are two risk factors.

In retrospect I know the endometrial cancer was caught pretty early because I had a radical hysterectomy within two weeks of the D & C and the cancer was endometrioid adenocarcinoma, Stage 1a, FIGO Grade 1.

It’s great that you got your GYN consult moved to July 31. Will you please let me know what you find out at your appointment? I’ll be thinking about you on Monday.
