When I was 49 I had LCIS and was prescribed tamoxifen for 5 years. I did end up having a hysterectomy due to large polyps growing on my uterus after having been on it for four years but I did not really notice any other side effects.

Thanks for the response. Can I ask what dose of Tamoxifen you took? The side effect of possible uterine cancer is scaring me to the point of considering a double mastectomy at this point. Am I being too excessively aggressive in my thought process?

I am new to this and just saw this. Do you mind me asking what option you settled with? I am having to make the decision now and I am so lost I don’t know what to decide.
