Have Breast Cancer. Taking Femara Daily. Will I Experience Any Side Effects?

I am glad you are almost completing the course of Femara.
No, you would not experience awful side effects after completing the treatment. In fact, your bone density would increase, cholesterol levels would return to normal, and you would feel much better. Neither would you send your body into shock after ending Femara.
If you read the complete prescribing information of Femara, you would notice that it does not cause loss of libido as a side effect or adverse reaction. It only causes vulvovaginal dryness. This may be one of the causes of decreased libido in you.
Studies to know the effects of Femara on fertility and sex drive have not been conducted yet. However, animal studies have reported sexual inactivity in both male and female rats.
Hopefully you should get back your libido after ending the treatment. Please look into any other contributing cause of your lack of libido.
Let me know if you have more queries.
