I did not take Tamoxifen, but Arimidex, so I can't comment directly on your side-effect. I just wanted to say WHHOOO--HOOOO and ask you to move right to the head of the line of your choice for knowing/using the word Perseverate!!!
Wish I knew more~ I could google it, or go to WebMD or some such, but you could too! And I know, we come in jhere to hear the real deal from our Sisters ( or brother) who has gone through whetever it is.
Sending you a cyber-hug! That's all I can contribute on this one!
Hugs,

A year after my battle with breast cancer (I was taking Arimidex), I developed a condition my gynecologist called non-homogeneous hyperplasia. She said my uterine wall was thickening irregularly and it could indicate malignancy. She suggested D&C but then changed her recommendation to total hysterectomy. She decided it unwise to put me under general anesthesia for the D&C then, depending on the results of pathology, having to put me under again for the hysterectomy. Because I was already past menopause (at 54) we decided to just do the hysterectomy. Pathology indicated the condition was benign but I was relieved that ovaries were gone - one less worry for me. Best luck with your testing.

Thank you terri for sharing your experience. I am so glad that your results were benign. One question though, couldn't they have just taken the uterus and left the ovaries? I guess I am wondering because I have read that the ovaries continue to fulfill a purpose(different than during premenopause) after we are no longer menstruating.
