Hi, did anyone here stop tamoxifen? I talked to my consultant and my risk of reoccurrence is pretty low in the effected breast so taking it isn’t really making much difference but he said I have a higher risk of getting it in the unaffected breast so I have to carry on for that. 

i just hate the drug so much, im hungry every moment of the day, I have a double chin and an expanding belly from bloating! I took a 3 week break and felt so much better. I already changed from letrozole which was worse. The breast cancer nurses just say be kind to yourself and you’re still really small but I can’t help that it matters most to me not to gain weight and I can’t seem to control it. 

ive also read about studies in America where people halved the dose - has anyone tried that?
