Been told today that I should cease taking Tamoxifen- been on it since 2015. I'm anxious about stopping it ! Anyone else felt similar emotions?

Hello Kalisunshine
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious about stopping Tamoxifen. I think it's perfectly understandable that you're feeling as you are. For the past 5-6 years this medication has almost been a safety net following your cancer diagnosis and to now have that net taken away, well it's natural that you will be experiencing many different emotions.
Can I suggest that you give our team of nurses a call next week. It can often help to talk these things through and I'm sure they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support that they can. If you think this is something that you'd benefit from them you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
Best wishes,
