Tamoxifen after hysterectomy (kept ovaries)
Hi Ladies,
2 years ago I had a hysterectomy (non cancer related) and retained my ovaries. Since then I have rarely felt or noticed regular cycling/ovulation.
Following a double mastectomy 7 weeks ago for multi-focal papillary cancer in my left breast, I have started on Tamoxifen as my ongoing treatment. It has only been a week, so yes very early days.....had a a bit of a pesky headache to start with a few restless nights, but nothing too bad.......but for the last few days I feel like my right ovary is about to explode, and I am very crampy - just like I about to have a very heavy period, which obviously I haven't had for 2 yrs now.
I know we all experience this drug differently but I am keen to know if this is something other ladies who have previously had a hysterectomy have experienced too???? I see the Oncologist again in about 7 weeks to review how things have been going...
Cheers
Sal
