Hi Elaine,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

Congratulations on almost completing your 10 years on Tamoxifen. I was in a similar position to you when I was due to stop taking Letrozole. I spoke to my GP, who contacted my consultant and my GP then stopped prescribing them.

I am not sure what would happen if you carried on taing them for longer. You could always talk to your GP, or phone one of the nurses here to find out . Their Tel No is 0808 800 4040 and they are here from 9.00am - 5.00pm fron Monday - Friday.

Please keep in touch and let us know what you find out. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Will do. I fear stopping tamoxifen and I feel like if I don't contact anyone I'll be able to take them for ever! 

Hi Elaine,

I understand why you want to do this, but I have a feeling that this could cause more problems than it solves. You'd be best to check it out first.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Elaine I am with jolamine on this glad you posted, nice to know you have taken tamoxifen for 10 years. Hope I am as lucky. You take care check all the possibilities good luck to you.

I've just recently finished my treatment and am on Tamoxifen. I Know someone else who is due to finish after 10 years so questioned why only 5 for me and was told that new research shows that the risks outway benefits for taking that long so that's the reason. 

hope this helps
