Tamoxifen may cause thickening of the lining of uterus, which may cause heavy bleeding at times. It may help to see your gynaecologist, who may suggest for a d&c (dilatation and curettage) procedure, before being sure of what we are dealing with and how to delay with it. For any further queries, please contact.

While these may be the side effects of chemotherapy, they may also be a subtle pointer towards drop in white blood cell counts specially if the patient is taking the chemotherapy on a weekly basis. The patient also needs good pain management.

Few advises from my side:
surgery is needed. But, please consult surgical oncologist for proper planning.
Surgery can be laparoscopic or open. Depends on the expertise of the surgeon. Proper handling of tissues is important. I prefer laparoscopic in most cases.
She needs to undergo genetic test to assess her risk profile for other cancers.

Gynaecomastia needs to be operated. It can be done under local anaesthesia very comfortably. Just go for it. If you still don't want surgery you can try tamoxifen tablets for 2 years which may prevent further growth but doesn't dissolve the existing lesion.

May be due to pubertal gynaecomastia. Better to see a breast surgeon if it is persistent. It usually resolves on its own. If persistent, they need to rule out secondary causes of the same, which include medications, liver problems, testicular tumors amongst a few. If none found, they may try antiestrogen like tamoxifen or danazole or surgery as the last resort.
