FLClover said:That’s a major bummer Cheryl. One of the main reasons I never want to go on Tamoxifen is cos it causes heavy periods, and I’m still on mine, and cos it can cause endometrial cancer. In short, it messes with your uterus. But as the ladies have said, it’s probably hyperplasia at the moment. My friend, who is 42 and had bc in 2017, is on T and is going through check ups right now for the same thing. Is there absolutely no way for you to be transferred on to an aromatase inhibitor?? They generally don’t give this side effect, and are also a little more effective in preventing recurrence. Why isn’t your onc switching you to one of those, have they told you?And can you get a hysteroscopy instead?Sending you a big hug 🤗♥️
Thank you, My GP rang my oncologist but he wants me to stay on Tamoxifen, so when I see the gyno/oncol I am waiting to see what he says first then maybe go back to my oncologist not sure yet xx
