I am 2 years past chemo and mastectomy,and I take Tamoxifen.I thought like you in the beginning,but my oncologist said there is no need for regular blood tests.I have a yearly mammogram and ultrasound,and a 6 monthly check with the oncologist.She doesn't really do much,so I think it's up to us to let them know if we feel ANYTHING at all different.I actually decided to have a 6 monthly full blood test with my GP.He is more than happy to do it,and I go over the results with him.I feel that by doing this,I can keep an eye on things like blood sugar levels,iron levels,etc and anything else that might stand out as a bit strange.It just gives me peace of mind.Mayb this is something that you could do?
