I am menopausal (10 years) and had brown spotting in november for 4 days. spotting returned 1 month later with a tinge of fresh blood. saw my gyn and she did an ultrasound. found endometrial thickening of 13mm and what might be a polyp low in the cervix.

Might be cancer: So far your MD is doing the correct thing. She next needs to do a n endometrial biopsy or a hysteroscopy, or better yet, both. Ultrasound will not rule out cancer of the uterus. Although this is likely not what is going on, it id the MOST SERIOUS thing that could be happening. These further test need to be done.
