Hi aucote64,
I certainly know what you are going through, all very worrying. I have been taking Tamoxifen for almost four years.
I had a hysteroscopy and resection of a polyp. showed simple and complex hyperplasia ( at that stage didn't know if it was typical or atypical) of the uterus, polyp was not cancerous.
I was then advised by gyno to have a bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy and hysterectomy. I have had this done and now recovering. I have my appointment with my oncologist tomorrow and hoping he may be able to give my the pathology results as I don't see my gyno for another two and a half weeks.
There was about an eight week wait between surgeries due to booking and public holidays. During this time I have not stopped taking Tamoxifen. The chance of uterine cancer from Tamoxifen is low I am told.
Still a major worry when it is you though. Try and keep positive and know that anything that may be found is very early.
Best wishes
Michelle
