Hello all,I have just been diagnosed with hyperplasia and a polyp ( this has been removed and no cancer found) while taking Tamoxifen. Wondering if there is someone that has or is walking this path? Recovering from surgery to remove polyp, then discussions with Gyno and oncologist as to the pathology of this.

Hi Michelle, I just wanted to pop in and see if there was anything I could ask our policy team that could help you out?Ann-Marie

Hello Ann-Marie, I am just sitting in limbo at the moment, not sure what the future holds and not sure about what the outcome of the pathology report for the hyperplasia will be or what it will mean. Not sure about treatment, prognosis, and future testing. Any information I can find is years out of date and not Australian. I don't see gynaecologist for 5 weeks. Any information on this would be a great help. Thanks Michelle

Hi Michelle,I have also just been diagnosed with hyperplasia and will be seeing the gyno team tomorrow. I have been taking tamoxifen for 6 months and have been told to stop until I have had further tests. I understand about you being in limbo ... I thought that after finishing treatment that there would be a bit of a break before any further problems surfaced but feel like I am about to hit the medical treadmill again.Susie.

Hi Susie, I know how you feel! It is an interesting road we may have to walk.I have been taking Tamoxifen for just over three years, just seems that if there is something than can go wrong or be uncommon I seem to have to deal with it. I would be interested to know what your gyno team have to say as I don't see mine until 2/12, I am still taking Tamoxifen every day which is a little worrying ( is it getting worse every day?) Sometimes I just want to get of this merry-go-round. Maybe there are simple solutions to hyperplasia! All the best for tomorrowRegards Michelle

Hi Michelle, just an update from me ...I am back on the treadmill and on the waiting list for a D+C .. and I was just starting to get back some of my lost modesty! I am just grateful that this problem has been found and testing starting to make sure that there is nothing more sinister going on which is now always in the back of my mind. Back to the waiting game as gyno team were not willing to discuss too much until they have the D+C results. I did get the sence that is was not uncommon and there were limited treatment options ie. IUD's or hysterectomy ... hmm... back to limbo land!Susie.
