New diagnosis of Hyperplasia and Polyp
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?...

Saw my GP yesterday - interesting conversation!
She asked how things were progressing since surgery, informed her polyp not cancerous, have hyperplasia, and likely to have to have progesterone. See Gyno in two weeks when he wants to discuss and go through all pathology reports.
Also said I was still taking Tamoxifen, asked if, since surgery could another polyp be growing and thickening of the uterus continue ? answer was YES!
She said they usually insert an IUD, asked how long I would have this for, and told as long as I was on Tamoxifen(I have another seven years to go) asked why couldn't I just have a hysterectomy and be done with it all, told they don't like to do it because of some complications that can arise. Asked why would I have an IUD releasing low doses of progesterone when my breast cancer was 95 - 100% ER+ and PR+, she checked results of pathology and then told me she would go for hysterectomy as well.
Now I am even more worried and have a lot more questions!This damn merry-go-round! I would just like to get off!
