As I read your blog it seems I am currently in the same spot you as you when you had DCIS. How did you do on tamoxifen

@vit05 I did ok on Tamoxifen. Did not have any side effects the first 3 1/2 years. Then, I thought, it was affecting my hair. It was getting dry & brittle. It would break off. None of it was dramatic, but I color my hair and so work at not having it damaged. My oncologist said ‘okay, take a break from or fir a month or so. If hair improves then discontinue. If it remains the same then finish out the 5 years. My hair improved, so I just stopped the Tamoxifen. I was lucky not to have any side affects. Blessings
