Hello I am 49 and had breast cancer 14 years ago and amongst other treatments was put on tamoxifen.I had irregular periods every year or so.In July had two episodes of spotting but didn’t think anything.About 3 weeks ago had bloated stomach and cramps then had 3 days of spotting.I had my yearly mammogram that week so asked breast nurse for advice.She was very surprised I was still on tamoxifen and said to stop immediately and arranged urgent scan.I had abdominal ultrasound and transvaginal scan which showed endometrium thickening of 13.1mm and was told I needed a hysteroscopy.My stomach feels tender and weak .I like to keep fit and it feels wierd when I do sit ups.The hysteroscopy is next Saturday.Has anyone experienced anything like this.Im worried it is endometrial cancer and that the stomach issues mean it has spread.
