@debra54. I had experienced post-menopausal bleeding that showed up twice. I was 10 years post menopausal and knew this was not normal. So, I made an appointment with my gynecologist and after examining me and listening he referred me for an ultrasound. I found out later that’s post-menopausal bleeding is an early sign for uterine cancer. I’m glad I went in as soon as I saw the bleeding because the uterine cancer was caught at a very early stage.

@debra54 The only sign was a one-time occurrence of post-menopausal bleeding. I went to my computer and then called an OB/GYN (I didn't even have one!). He tried to get a tissue sample in his office [major OUCH], I cried in the car afterwards. The ultrasound didn't help, so he scheduled a D&C procedure in the surgical realm. There was so much blood, I guess he was shocked, but was able to get a tissue sample. Then the phone call came and off I went for a "total" hysterectomy August 2021 at a major medical center 5 hr drive from home.
