Tamoxifen and Thickened Uterine Lining

I would like to thank everyone for sharing your stories. I am dealing with the same issue and trying to decide what I should do about Tamoxifen. It helps reading your stories. It would help more though if everyone can mention their ages (or a age range) and menopausal status. I think we get a new lining every month as we go through our cycles. My gyn told me that 7-8 mm was normal for ovulating women, and they can have simple cysts that would resolve on their own when we have our periods. I just turned 50. I thought I went into menopause after my chemo but my periods came back. They are irregular. My previous gyn mistook my periods for irregular bleeding and did a biopsy. She scared the life out of me and put me on the fence about Tamoxifen. Now I have a new gyn and he doesn't seem as eager to perform a D & C on me. We are keeping an eye on things.

I had a CT scan on Monday. The results have shaken me! My endometrium is 1.25 CM!!! 10 times the normal thickness for a 58 post menopausal woman! I had an ultrasound in January 2022 and it was normal! I had previously taken Tamoxifen. Started in March of 2017 and switched to Anastrozole in August of 2022. After switching to Anastrozole since I was post menopausal I have lost 40 pounds. I feel better than I have since the BC diagnosis. My labs are good there is just a high level of concern about the weight loss with my care team. I have not been hungry since starting Anastrozole. I am eating a ¼ of what I use to. I get plenty of good protein and nutrition. I am 5'2" and weight 122. I'm not to thin either. I have no symptoms of any issues with my uterus. No bleeding, no pain with sex,no frequent urination and no cramps. I do feel full quickly when I eat. I'm being referred to cancer specialists in GYN issues. I am just over here waiting for the bomb to drop!
