Does anyone else have issues with itchy skin...... even my scalp at times?  I'm told this can be a menopause symptom (I'm one year into menopause....period never returned after my first chemo).  I'm wondering if Tomoxofen can cause itchy skin.  It comes and goes in waves and it seems the more I think about it the more I itch.

    I think the Tamoxifen can cause some itching - my breasts get itchy, which I think is partly because the tissue is changing from dense to less-dense inside, AND my skin's a bit dryer overall, AND I have itching on the left because that skin was radiated and is still trying to get it's act back together. I just try to drink lots and lots of water and take helpful vitamins - and to stay distracted...
