Hello all. I'm new and my question is a little different!

[missmolly55]

I'm 53 now, but I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 19. I had a terrible 20 years, 6 operations. Numerous courses of all different types of hormones. Some very experimental ones too.

I then had an early menapause at 39. Then came the other problems! When that was finally over, I had to have my thyroid removed due to large growths. (connected?)

So...I'm on an even road now, with all of that behind me. But I started getting familiar pains down below. Sort of like period pains. And it's been a long time since I had one of them!

Eventually, got a scan done, and I'm told my endometrium is enlarged to 8mm. And that no ivestigation would be done unless the measurement was 11mm!

My question really is....if I had so many endometriosis related problems, would I be more likely to get endometriol cancer?

Got myself a little worried!

Thankyou for that. I lived all of my adult life in Germany, returning to the UK 3 years ago. I know that they would have done something there. I will go back and see what they say. It is like living with a ticking bomb.

There has been no bleeding. The doctor in the hospital asked what I wanted from the visit, I said, well, to investigate further. Thats when he told me. He said, 'I know it sounds harsh!'

Hello again Can I just add an update.....I went to the doctor today, to say that I wasn't happy with the gynos response to my problems. I added that I had a lot of pain in my right kidney and that I had noticed small blood clots when I wee. ( But not every time) So now he's reffered me back to the hospital for a gyno visit and a urologist refferal. Which I supose is good, but now I'm more worried then ever! Could it all be connected? Or coincidence?
