I went to ER on Friday due to immense pressure and pain in my pelvic. Turns out I have a 7 cm cyst on my ovary and endometrial cysts in my uterus. I’m on kadcyla and tamoxifen. I go see my oncologist on Friday and a follow up with on next Wednesday. I read that cysts are a potential side effect with tamoxifen just not sure how common.
