ER positive breast ca preventative hysterectomy

My Oncologist told me Tamoxifen only slightly increase the chance for Uterine cancer. The first sign is always bleeding and she said it’s always in early stage when you first noticed bleeding. So why have such big surgery if it’s something we can observe at the early stage? Ovarian cancer might be detected by MRI. I’m not sure about this.

I’ll find out more when I see my oncologist next week but thank you for the information it really helps to hear from others.

That is correct I was told only 2% will get uterine cancer from Taxoxifen. I wish there was a simple answer, but the more research you do the more questions you have. Full hysterectomy is really only for my own piece of mind.
