I've been on Tamoxifen for just over 3 years now.I was through menopause when I started.It's abit drastic to have a hysterectomy because of Tamoxifen unless ofcourse,your oncologist advises it.The risk of uterine cancer whilst on this drug is extremely small.Nevertheless,it doesn't hurt to have a regular pelvic ultrasound for peace of mind.From this they can tell the thickness of the endometrium and if there are any abnormalities.The side effects I get from Tamoxifen are hot flushes and sleep disturbances but I take another medication to help with all that.Arimidex can cause joint pains and ofcourse,osteoporosis.It's a great choice isn't it ! Hope you are coping ok with Tamoxifen. Tonya xx
