Tamoxifen trouble
I had a transvaginal ultrasound on Wednesday after my annual visit to watch for changes associated with Tamoxifen. Well, I got the dreaded phone call this morning that I have endometrial thickening and needed to schedule a biopsy! I have been on Tamoxifen for 18 months. Anyone out there have this experience? Of course I am worried and hope and pray all is ok. It is no fair that the treatment causes other serious issues. It seems according to the US that my ovaries are post menopause (chemo pause induced) Wondering if anyone has had this side effect from Tamoxifen.
