Been on tamxifen for 6 months. Had bad side effects so my oncologist took me off about a week ago. Some side effects are better but some are not. How long does this last in your system?

Today is 2 weeks off and I can't believe how all I am sleeping. I feel good again. Still worried about reoccurrence. Seeing palliative care dr next week my oncologist is sending me too in the meantime I've done so much research on natural ways to fight cancer it can't hurt to do them while I wait. I'm drinking lemon water all day with s tiny bit if baking soda and taking natural apple cider vinegar to keep my body alkaline state. I drinking tea with turmeric black pepper and honey every morning and taking lots of vitamins excercising and eating healthy
