I have been on tamoxafin for about 11 months now, over the past few months i have noticed that my hair has become very thin especially at the crown. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Eileen,
I’m sorry you haven’t had any replies to your post yet. You might find that more people would see it if you posted in the section "Going though treatment/hormone therapy "
forum.breastcancercare.org.uk/t5/Hormone-therapy/bd-p/4438
There are several threads in that section about the side effects of Tamoxifen.
Very best wishes

Hi Eileen i n reply to your question I know everyone is different but I have been on tamoxafin for 3years and 8 months my hair is so thin I look like a man and have to wear a wig , it has got worse , when I first started taking it my hair was thin but it covered my scalp but then it needed clip on hair pieces now in the last 8 months I have had to wear a wig in this hot weather its unbearable I take it off wherever I can and sometimes I feel so sorry for my husband 4 years ago he had a size 12 wife with hair now he has a size 18 Buddha lol I do think so what I’m alive but I don’t feel very feminine , I am going on to another tablet when the 5 years are up but from what I’ve read that one is just as bad , so sorry I can’t tell you a better story but it helps to have a good sense of humour x x
