Hi. I am 47 years old, usually have normal periods but skipped last months period and am currently 59 days since last period.  I saw my gyno yesterday and my uterus is 12 mm thick.  He thinks my period is due and says to come back to him to re-check the thickness after my period.  I am worried, as he says this could be uterine cancer.  I have had no breakthrough bleeding of any kind.
Hi, at this age it is a possibility that your menses may stop permanently or u may have irregularity for few months and then period may stop forever. The most common symptom of uterine cancer is irregular bleeding specially in a post menopausal woman. In my opinion, uterine cancer is less likely in your case. To be on safer side an endometrial biopsy will solve your problem.
