Hi anybody been diagnosed with endometrial cancer after their breast cancer 

  • Hi Harpers welcome to the forum. I have just been in hospital today for a hysteroscopy for endometrial biopsies. I dont know yet whats going to come back  but I did have breast cancer so they are erring on the side of caution with me. Is this whats happening for you?

  • Hi Harpers13, I’m on tamoxifen and this has always been a worry for me. Were you / are you on tamoxifen?

  • Hi Granny59 and Cuffcakejust wondered if you had other symptoms beside bleeding. I have had an MRI of my back, just waiting to hear. My back is weaker but my bladder is also. I read that badder issues can be to do with endometrial thickening. I'm on Tamoxifen and wondering if the safety of staying on it. It has so many side effects but the fear of what it might be preventing is uppermost in my mind. I'm going to ask at my next follow up if I really need it. Thank you for your post. 

  • Hi Sabrina, so I’ve not had any problems other than hot flushes so those are my only symptoms with the tamoxifen for me.

    Wishing you all the best

  • Thank you, I'm just hoping everything is age related. Tamoxifen seems to make some things worse. Haven't got space for any more health issues. Taking my son to King's for assessment in Feb. I am healthy that's what I keep telling myself, just older than I was. XxxxxxxxxX
