Mary, there's no telling if you'll get another period or not. A lot depends on your age. The older you are, the less likely you are to resume your periods once you stop tamoxifen. If you're in your late 40s or 50s, it would be highly unlikely you'd get another period... though it's possible. Good luck - PJH
