Anyone take Tamoxifen after Uterine Cancer
just wondering if anyone out there has taken Tamoxifen after a hysterectomy for uterine cancer.

I am also interested in the same question. I was on Tamoxifen for 3 1/2 years and tolerated it quite well. It was not recommended that I switch to an aromatase inhibitor as I already had mild osteoporosis. Last year I developed endometrial adenocarcinoma and had a hysterectomy. I was switched to arimidex because of concern that the tamoxifen was the "cause" of the uterine cancer. I have been on arimidex for 9 months and have horrible joint problems. I would like to return to taking Tamoxifen.

I had endometrial/uterine cancer in 2008, with a very thorough hysterectomy. After getting breast cancer and having a lumpectomy in 2018, my MO prescribed Tamoxifen. I took it for about nine months, but quit for reasons unrelated to cancer.

I’ve been on tamoxifen the last 5.5 years since bilateral mascetomy for ductal and lobular cancer (one on each side). Have been getting worse and worse periods last 6 months. Waiting for results from pelvic ultrasound yesterday. Kind of freaking out right now thinking if uterine cancer a thing.

Hello All,
Did any of you have repeated thickening even after D&C? I am also a tamoxifen user..Waiting on results from endometrial biopsy for the 2nd time since taking tamoxifen

Me! I briefly tried letrozole after my hysterectomy, and the joint pain was so bad that I asked to go back on tamoxifen. Now I’m on anastrozole after 5 years of tamoxifen, and the side effects are wrecking my quality of life, so I’m again asking to go back on tamoxifen. I think they’ll let me, as the alternative would be quitting entirely.
