Has Tamoxifen led to uterine cancer for anyone?

This is what worries me. Give you a pill for breast cancer but side effects are another cancer. What is a person to do. I don’t know rather to take it or not.

I know it’s so frustrating. Maybe discuss with your family/best friend and your Doctor. Then make the best decision for you. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me as I was diagnosed with a 2nd breast cancer after being on it for 2 years. I was Stage 1 w/ numbers indicating chances of getting it again were low, so by all accounts it shouldn’t have come back. Maybe ask the doctor for statistics on recurrence of breast cancer and % of uterine cancers while taking it? I’m just praying the biopsy comes back negative.

Amy V please let us know. I’ll be praying for good test results

Biopsy came back negative! So relieved. Hope things are going ok on your end.
