Hi Jussylee,
I had triple negative breast cancer so no tamoxifen for me. Once all my treatment was finished I fell in a bit of a heap for a while. I was great whilst going through it, kind of like I had a job to do. When it was over everyone around me was ecstatic.Of course I was too. However whilst everyone else expected me to just get on with life I felt I was floundering a bit. I had some lovely phone sessions with a psychologist from the Cancer Council that really helped. I am now 4 years since treatment finished and doing just fine. Be kind to yourself, it is normal to feel a bit down. If it doesn't pass then maybe have a chat to your Doctor.
Cyber hugs to you.
