Endometrial hyperplasia and polyps on tamoxifen

Hi
i have been taking tamoxifen for 4years and 7 months, after 2 years on tamoxifen I had hysteroscopy and d and c.because thickened endometrium and bleeding,went along ok till now where having a lot of pain and bleeding for 5 weeks,my gynaecologist has booked me for another hysteroscopy and d and c,I will also be getting a ablation at same time,  he will remove polyps.
gynaecologist has said this is going to continue to be a problem,he said get all this done and ideally stop tamoxifen,although he suggested to talk to oncologist first.has anyone had to cut taking tamoxifen short as problems similar,my oncologist probably will be ok with me stopping it I think,
the problems I’m having gynaecology are making life abit miserable lately and really didn’t want to keep getting these procedures as suffered with it last time,although I’m aware there are far worse things people are dealing with.
Thanks
