Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The withdrawal of the drug per se is not likely to produce any side effects but it might cause the aggravation of multiplication of the tumor cells if any present in your body - according to you r breast carcinoma stage. You should inform your physician about the drug discontinuation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
