Completing 5 years on Anastrozole: Did you continue or stop after 5?

I did 5 years on it , then at the recomendation of the oncologist I stopped I wonder about the side effects is hair loss as a result of that or age ? ( I am 65)

Hair loss happens as we age. But I think the drugs speed it up. I have no evidence and I’ve always had sparse hair. But I feel that the loss of hormones has to have an effect on hair, skin and body functions.

I’m having good results with oral minoxidil for hair loss. Prescribed by my dermatologist.

Also had issues with Anastrazole so now on Exemestane for 2.5 years. Suffering hair loss as well. I am 62 and do not think it's due to age.
I will try to make it to 5 years and maybe 10, hopefully.
