I got endometrial cancer after taking Tamoxifen for 2 years followed by a radical hysterectomy. I, too, started bleeding heavily.
I started having issues in October of 2023. I was done with my 5 years of tamoxifen on November 1, 2023. D&C in December 2023. HEAVY bleeding after that, and was put on yet another drug to try and help. But I could only take it for 5 days once a month. Wasn't enough to control it. Ended up having a total hysterectomy last May. Final results were polyps and endometriosis from the 5 years of tamoxifen. I know personally 2 others with similar experiences. I remember my surgeon and oncologist saying the risks were very low. But from personal experiences from myself and others tell me otherwise. Was just curious about the general public in this community as well.
I have thicken wall measuring 17mm biopsy scheduled in April. No pain no bleeding so confused 3+ Breast cancer stage 3 in 2018 took tamoxifen for 5 years now taking nothing
Yes, some people taking tamoxifen experience endometrial issues. The medication can cause changes in the uterus, including polyps, fibroids, or thickening of the uterine lining. While these changes are often not cancerous, they may lead to abnormal bleeding or spotting that should be monitored by your healthcare team. If Show Full Answer
