Ending Tamoxifen after 5 years!

Hello!
I just found this forum and I know that your comment was made quite some time ago, but I am hoping my reply finds you well. I was wondering if you had DCIS. I also had radiation only but did choose to go on the tamoxifen. I’ll be taking my last dose December 31st of this year. I was just wondering if you had any effects when you stopped the drug. I know that we are all different, however I am reading that many of us that came off of it are having effects that pretty much feel like we did when we were on it. I was wondering if this was the case for you.
Thank you!

I hope I can be of help. I was diagnosed with DCIS stage O breast cancer. Had a lumpectomy with 5 weeks radiation. Took Tamoxifen for 5 years. No lingering side effects whatsoever. I am now 21 years cancer free.
