Tamoxifen and ovarian cysts
Hi. Just wanted to chat about being on Tamoxifen and having ovarian cysts. I have been on Tamoxifen for almost 5 years. I have discovered through pelvic ultra sounds that I have a cyst on each ovary...

I think if they are small cysts they just leave them cos often they burst of their own accord.I had an ovarian cyst the size of a golf ball and had to have it removed(wasn't on Tamoxifen at the time).I've been on Tamoxifen for 3 years now and a recent pelvic ultrasound showed I had cysts in the lining of the uterus.My oncologist just said that's normal when you are on Tamoxifen and they are harmless and will go away when I come off Tamoxifen.It still worries me though.Good luck with the specialist and I hope you don't need any operations.
