Hi Lottie, I started Tamoxifen in March of 2016, and they noted the hyperplasia on a CT in April of 2017.
I’ve only ‘spotted’ twice since starting 20mg tamoxifen. I tolerated it very well for almost 6 years. I’m hoping I can stay on it at a lower dose. I will be having a renal ultra sound 2/14/22 to check my FMD renal arteries. I never had bloating or weight gain from tamoxifen.
My gynecologist wants to keep an eye on the hyperplasia every 6 months but is unconcerned at this time about cancer as the cells were benign.
