Christine, I thought Tamoxifen was a drug you were to gradually to go off
of; however I didn't and had no side effects to the abrupt stop. You may
find that the cyst activity will decrease; so give it a little time to get
the drug completely our of your system. You know how I feel about you
stopping the drug.......glad your feeling a bit better and hope it will
continue to improve for you. Love, lillian
