I am 4 years into this and had issues with as my gyno called them "angry polyps". After two d and c both polyps came back benign. Four weeks ago I elected to have a total hysterectomy as I was told by my oncologist I would be on Tamoxifen for a total of ten years. Although I just turned 50 I was not showing in signs that menopause was near and my mom had endometrial cancer; I decided it was best for me.

Hi Cyndi ! I have been on it for nine months now and am getting another ultrasound done in 8 weeks . The ovarian cysts dissolved but the uterine lining is increasing so may have to get a d &c :( hope your biopsy results are good ; mine came back ok.

I have been on Tamoxifen for 10 months. Just found 2 cysts and my cycle is off. Going to repeat the ultrasound in 6 weeks and i am waiting for results to a endometrial biopsy. Pap was normal. I'm 43. Hopefully it's just a side effect but i think I will ellect to have a hysterectomy within the next year. I'm hoping I can wait until after the holidays. Hood luck ladies.
