Anyone had cancer return while taking hormone therapy meds?

Oh ok I see. I am sorry you had to go through that. Yes, mine definitely seem lighter and shorter . Did you have a full hysterectomy because of the tamoxifen? My gynecologist told me to watch out for abnormal bleeding because the tamoxifen can cause uterine polyps . And said those have to be removed.

I’m not sure it was because of the tamoxifen or not but due to the abnormal bleeding they did a transvaginal ultrasound and I had a uterine fibroid and a large cyst on my ovary and with the abnormal bleeding, they thought it was a good idea to do the hysterectomy since they couldn’t put me on birth control to see if that would help, due to the breast cancer.
When they biopsied everything afterwards, it showed I also had endometriosis and adenomyosis. So it was definitely good I had it done. But, my gyno did say that any abnormal bleeding while on Tamoxifen calls for a transvaginal ultrasound. So watch for that.
