hello, I’m hoping to find others possibly in a similar situation for advice please. I have been taking tamoxifen for 4months and with relatively few problems. However I have started to get very heavy periods and lots of pain and pressure in my lower abdomen. I recently found out that on a CT scan Dec last year they found a sizeable fibroid in my uterus and a 2cm cyst on my ovary. Thus they were both there prior to tamoxifen. But I think the tamoxifen is now causing the worsening symptoms!
i have just been to my GP who has ordered an urgent Ultrasound scan and voiced that she thinks the fibroid needs to come out as it’s inside my uterus but that the US scan should be able to show more of the soft tissue than the CT scan to find out what’s going on. She seemed to pass off the cyst issue even though during period and at ovulation stage of my cycle I get a very tender left side ( cyst is on left ovary) .
The pain is fairly constant this month but I can manage it with ibuprofen, it’s just making me feel very lethargic and tired.
any information anyone can provide on fibroids and cysts gratefully welcomed, thank you
