I went to my doctor yesterday to get a referral for my dermatologist, now have a appt with her for a Biopsy?

I told her I had a pap smear sept 2012, and that I think I was going through menopause, because my last real period was May 2012. Then I told her I had bleeding this year in May 2013. One year later for one day, I thought that was just part of menopause from what some people have said. But no, now I'm going to her office next friday for a endometrial biopsy and ultra sound, to check the lining and make sure there is no cancer. When she said the C word it has kind of scared me more today then when I was in her office, she did say she wants to rule out cancer. Has anyone gone through this?

    Menopause would not involve bleeding like this. Can be a uterine polyp too. And that is not always cancer. Would require a D&C if something like this is found. A video kind of thing is done first to be sure. You can see this if you want. Yes, I have been through this and it turned out to be a benign polyp. That stopped all bleeding. Went back to work in 2-3 days as I remember.
