  • Hi Fern and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It's great to hear you've finished your course of Tamoxifen although I'm sorry for the worries you have about what will happen now you've stopped taking it.

    Hopefully some of our members who were in a similar position when they started taking Tamoxifen will share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and you're able to get some answers and peace of mind soon.

    Kind regards,
