Mam,
nothing to worry.
This is a common side-effect of tamoxifen. It is usually associated with heavy bleeding. If you do have bleeding please get a d & c done by a gynaecologist.
Please have regular follow-ups for cancer breast. All the best-you will do well.
Regards.

Planning a family in a breast cancer patient is not advisable for 2 years (counted from last day of treatment). As chances of relapse are higher in initial 2 years. So she can plan her pregnancy according to your gynaec. But she has to stop tamoxifen as it has got teratogenic effect on baby if she conceive.

I'm a breast cancer survivor. Dx with papillary carcinoma and dcis in july 2018. Staging and grade were questionable due to mishandling of the lumpectomy. Under went 1 lumpectomy, 1 recession with sential node dissection. Also received 16 rounds of radiation and placed on tamoxifen for 5 years commencing in nov. 2018. Period ceased due to medical menopause in august 2019. As of april 5th I started spotting and it became extremely heavy on april 9th and am still bleeding 17 days later. On april 15th I reached out to my medical oncologist for advice and was immediately taken off of tamoxifen and sent to the hospital for further investigation. I had blood drawn, a pelvic exam and a repeat ultrasound. (i had one done in feb of 2020 showing 2 fairly large cysts measuring 3.3 cms and 4.6 cms one on each ovary. At this time my endometrium was showing thickening measuring at 22 mm.) the recent ultrasound showed the adnexal cysts had decreased bin size the largest is now 3.3 cms but is showing cystic changes and my endometrium is now showing double layer with thickening of 20. 6 mm with some peripheral vascular. I've been taking 3g tranexamic acid since april 16 and although it has slowed the flow a bit it's still bright red and am still passing clots. I'm now about to run out of tranexamic acid medication tomorrow, i'm afraid how much the bleeding will be once the meds are done. I've been referred to a gone but haven't received a call yet. I have been told they cannot rule anything out yet as I need the expertise of a gyne. I'm not trying to scare myself but i'm anxious and it would greatly help to know what my odds are that this is malignant. I find going in totally blind causes me more anxiety and stress than knowing that this may be a real possibility. What do you suggest? Also anything I should look out for if the bleeding gets worse? I'm on tylenol 3 for the pain but it's not helping and it gets so severe I throw up. Please help!

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.

Is CEF is right chemo treatment nat ER +/PR + and Her 2- I am 41, unmarried, premenausal female. Diagnosed with Invasive breast cancer (lump on the right chest wall-upper inner quadrant high up) lymph node and axillary node positive. Type: ER +, PR+,her 2 -.Size of the tumor is 2.7 cm.and they say its a LABC (locally advanced breast cancer) .Started with NACT (CEF every 3 weekly). Done with the first chemo 15 days back with CEF (cyclophosphamide-750, epirubicin,-120 fluorouracil-750 mg. I am really confused as I don't see much data on hormone positive and Her 2 - patients given this CEF chemo (either adjuvant or neoadjuvant). My fellow patient (of similar types) from other hospitals are given AC/T. Also I met one of senior oncologist who suggested to shift from chemotherapy and instead start Neoadjuvant Endocrine Therapy (tamoxifen 20 mg for next 3 months). Would really appreciate if you share your expert opinion the right treatment path for my case.

Hello Lybrate user! LABC means locally advanced breast cancer- decided not only with tumor size but also changes of breast skin, involvement of lymph nodes, and inflammatory changes. 3 cycles of FEC/ CEF or 4AC as neoadjuvant (chemotherapy before surgery) chemotherapy is good to give to reduce size of tumor and control local decease and also in cases of breast conservation surgeries. After surgery they might start TC as adjuvant chemotherapy (chemotherapy after surgery. So it is one of the treat...more
