Tamoxifen..

Hi I had  been on Tamoxifen for 3 months. I'm post menopausal. I'm 64. I started getting a discharge after couple months and heavy feeling in bottom of stomach like having a period again. Haven't had one in 18 yrs. Also diagnosed with ongoing constipation. Told med onc she said get gp to do an xray of pelvis and u sound. Had Gray then trans vaginally u sound. Results..thickened uterus and possibly hyperplasia along with increased uterine volume. I am off Tamoxifen and have appt with Gyno at qe2 in Brisbane on 12th may. I am more nervous of this app than when diagnosed with ILC. Has anyone had this while being on Tamoxifen. I d like to have a historectomy I don't need my uterus annymore then I could go back on Tamoxifen. Stay safe.. Tanya xx

    Hi OTISMYCAT​ , as we wait for others to respond with their lived experience, I just wanted to reassure you that you’ve done all the right things in following this up with a gynae who can advise the best options for you. It makes perfect sense that this feels more worrying right now, new symptoms and waiting for answers can feel really unsettling. Be gentle with yourself in the lead-up to your appointment - we’re here with you 💫
