First Symptom: Post Menopausal Bleeding

Hi,
Most of you know me as a retired Yacht captain, world traveler, and adventurer turned Artist.
This is the story of  a brand new adventure that I really never thought I would go through.
Two and a half months ago I woke up in a pool of blood.  I had been post menopausal for 20 years so this was out of the blue!  I immediately called my primary care physician and got in that morning.  She ordered an ultrasound which I had later that day.  She also referred me to a GYN.  The ultrasound came showed a large lesion with a small mass embedded. I was referred to a GYN who tried to do a biopsy but could not get through the cervix.  I was sent home with pills to dilate the cervix and returned to the GYN the next day.  They tried again but could not do the biopsy.  While I waited in the office she called a GYN oncologist who agreed that I would need a D&C to find out what was going on.
I had the appointment the next week.
