Thickened womb lining

Hi all. I don't even know where to start, can't quite believe iv found myself on this path again. I was diagnosed with BC back in Nov 2021 had chemo and mastectomy etc and was put on zoladex injections for 19months, finished them a year ago and have been on tamoxifen ever since. Iv not had periods since starting chemo as that stopped them and then obviously the zoladex kept them at bay. 3 weeks ago I had a slight bleed, it was minor and was gone as quick as it came. Went to drs and got referred on 2ww. Had an vaginal ultrasound and have been for the results today. They said scan shows extremely thick lining 20mm!!!! And tht i have cysts on my ovaries (he said the 2 things are not connected) I have to go back next week for a biopsy and a camera to look closer at the womb. I am absolutely terrified beyond words. That lining seems so thick and I can't think of anything but the worst. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated xxx
