I am so on the brink of stopping tamoxifen after 6 months of taking it.  The only reason I continue to take it is for my family (my husband and 3 teenagers).  The side effects have not improved, but instead I have a few additional ones.  I just feel like my quality of life really is not where I need it/want it to be.  Plus, with all three of my children in high school I feel like I only have a few years left with them at home and I don't want those few years to be miserable ones (for them and me).  So, with all that said, is there anyone with a similar diagnosis (IDC, stage 1, grade 3, 1.4cm, er+/pr+, her2+) that did not take tamoxifen and has had a recurrence or mets, therefore regretting not taking the tamoxifen?
