I have been on it foe 14 months and my hair has not thinned. It came back much thicker and curlier after chemo. Only side effect is incredibly frequent hot flashes. -

I have been two months and noticed some hair loss . I talked to oncologist about it and she said it is the tamoxifen but should be minimal.

That's what I'm noticing too. My eyelashes are falling out too. Dr said it may stop with time but it is the drug causing it. I started taking biotin and using nioxin hair products for thinning hair now and I will let you know if I find it helps.

Been on Tamoxifen for 10 months... Had stray hairs falling out at first but now nothing noticeable. My hair is long (shoulder length) and I have to get it trimmed at least every 5-6 weeks... Only bad side effect is HOT FLASHES... Good luck!!! We all respond differently to drugs!!
