I'm on Nolvadex for 4,5 years and my gynecologist suggested and abration (if that is the correct word) because he saw in the ultrasound that my endometrium(the inside part of the womb) is thicker than normal.He said  it's probably because of Nolvadex and nothing to worry about.But I feel terrible only at the thought of going back to the operating room even for a minor operation.Has anyone had a similar experience because of Nolvadex? Undecided

Is Nolvadex the same ting as tamoxifen?  if so, yes -- ME!  I had the endometrial ablation a few years ago and it was a really, really easy procedure.
