Hi I have been on tamoxifen for 2 years now but few weeks ago had a period (which stopped as soon as I took tamoxifen 2 yrs ago) so I have just been for a scan and they said there might be a polyp. I gave to go to gynaecology next Thursday for more tests. It just feels like it's never ending.

Hello and thank you for posting.

As other forum users have said, tamoxifen can cause polyps. They are very rarely anything to be concerned about and can be easily dealt with.

Here is an information leaflet on polyps from a London Hospital Trust, your Hospital Trust may also produce one.

And here from the UK cervical charity Jos trust.

Waiting for appointments and more information can be difficult. If you can, in the meantime, try and not search for answers online as this could cause you increased anxiety. 

Take care and hopefully you will know more soon.

Thank you for the information and advice. I will have a look. I have been referred to get a hysteroscopy to check out if its a polyp I have as the ultrasound nurse said it might be a polyp and to check the thickness of lining.
