Await biopsy: Before worrying I would wait for the biopsy results. Then a more complete picture of what is going on will be available for your medical provider to use to discuss diagnosis and options. Right now a definitive answer is not available. Most pathology results are available within a week.

Obviously : Your doc is concerned about endometrial cancer. They should have explained it at the consent for the biopsy. Ask more questions about your risks from either your provider or genetic counselor who performed your brava test.

Things to think abou: Let me start off that hopefully you have had a good conversation with your gynecologist. Also, I'm assuming you underwent the ultrasound related to "postmenopausal vaginal bleeding". But with an endometrial strip >4 mm you have to rule out endometrial cancer. Not all thickening is cancer though. Presently, the relationship between BRCA mutations and endometrial cancer is a bit unclear.
