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.

@beyourownadvocate Absolutely. Hair loss happens with Anastrozole. No doubt about it. I'm 75, been on Anastrazole for 2 1/2 yrs, had surgery, now doc wants me to continue it for another 2 1/2 years to total 5. Probably not gonna do it. I can take the risk and live out my life without all the side effects, with little hair, aching bones, etc , and that's what I intend to do.
