a day agoI had a lumpectomy 2 and a half months ago and had 5 radiation treatments and started taking Anastrozole yesterday. Two weeks ago I started spotting after 10 years of menopause so my Oncologist had me get a transvaginal ultrasound and it showed I had 5.3 mm endometrial thickness and it's suppose to be 4 or lower. In two weeks I have outpatient surgery having a hysteroscopy/D&C/ Biopsy I also had a 2.3 cm fibroid that's on top of my uterus. I sure hope I didn't go from Breast Cancer to Endometrial Cancer within 3 months. My gynecologist was glad for me to start taking Anastrozole as it may shrink the fibroid. I'm really taking the Anastrozole for breast cancer. Has anyone had new Cancers pop up while treating the first one?

a day agoThis sounds incredibly overwhelming to be dealing with concerning symptoms so soon after your breast cancer treatment. Many patients in this community have shared similar worries about new health issues arising during their cancer journey, and those feelings of anxiety are completely understandable. The timing does feel scary, but it's encouraging that your medical team is being thorough and proactive with testing to get you clear answers, and the upcoming procedures will provide the information needed to guide your next steps.
