Even though your chemo and radiation finished months ago, there can be "after" effects from the orignal chemo. my "extra" symptoms lasted another 6 months after chemo, but were completely different to those while undergoing the treatments.

All I can say was 'eventually' was a really Long time 6 mths, grrrr.... when you think you should be feeling fitter and more active.
so it may not be the tamoxifan as the sole culprit
