Tamoxifen

Hi everyone 

I was wondering if anyone has any advice, I've recently one off tamoxifen after 10 years and was wondering if there are any side effects?, have to say I feel a little scared as I feel they were my safety net x

  • Hello and thank for your post.

    It can be a bit of a worry when treatment ends.  Remember all treatments have to end eventually.

    A lot of research and clinical trials have looked at the best duration to take Tamoxifen for. Remember that after finishing them the benefits of tamoxifen are long-lasting.

    If you had side effects then stopping the treatment will mean that they will get better over time. I do not know of any side effects that will happen when you stop taking it. 

    I hope this information has helped. 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.

    Take care,
