Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the hypothyroidism, which is causing the bulky stomach.
As you are taking tomoxifen since 5 years,the uterus should be screened regularly,as it may cause the uterine cancer.
I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis.
Avid taking fatty foods,junk foods,oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
