I also have had hair thinning on letrozole. I am told I should use mens roGaine or take oral monoxile which both the oncologist and cardiologist cleared but I am trying to wait a few months to see if it will slow down. I also am using Vegamour hair products and I think they are helping. They have shampoo conditioner and a hair serum all plant based and i think it has slowed down the thinning. My oncologist said all these drugs can do the same thing so it isn't like we have a choice.

I've been on anastrozole for 9 months and have always had great hair. But I am becoming concerned. Every time I shampoo and dry my hair I lose about 20 strands (yes, I'm counting!) and they're weird. I swear each individual hair is thinner! And instead of curling as it normally did when it hit the sink (2-3 pieces before AI) , it drops with a strange 90 degree crimp in it. I'm going to try the Vegamour products. I know, I know. We're lucky to be alive, lucky if our cancer was caught at an early stage but I feel as if my femininity is being chipped away, one strand at a time!
