Hi and thank you for your post

People vary in the side effects they may experience. Hopefully, as time goes on the side effects may settle down. We have some information on our website about the side effects of tamoxifen which you can see here.

Breast cancer now explains about side effects you may experience after stopping tamoxifen, such as extreme tiredness, which you may like to read at this link.

As you have posted on cancer chat you may also be interested in the  Breast Cancer Now Forum where  women are posting who have similar questions. Have a look at  Breast Cancer Now forum  here. You can register on the site at this link.

We always advise people who are thinking of taking a break or stopping their treatment to talk it over with their breast care team who know all about you and can help you to reach an informed decision about what would be best for you.

I hope you find this information helpful. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely,

Tina
