I've been on tamoxifen close to two years. I had dcis, a lumpectomy (took one lymph node which was clear) and radiation (brachy). I've had some itching, I'm 61 so post menopausal, some discharge and feel like I'm ovulating sometimes. One side effect is endometrial cancer, so make sure you're getting checked with pap smear. No hair loss, dry/itchy scalp, dry skin. Just had my 5th mammogram (2nd 3D) and the radiologist wants another biopsy. Wondering sometimes why we are putting this in our bodies if suspicious calcifications are coming back two years in. No nausea but I've had insomnia since I turned 55, so that's not a symptom i can validate.
