Eek! My hair is falling out!

I'm on Letrozole (Femara), another AI, for stage 4 BC with oral chemo Ibrance. I was 7 months in when my hair went from thick curly to now at 19 months thin, stringy, see-through YUCK! I'm about at the point of looking at wigs. I try not to ingest anything but the absolutely necessary prescriptions and OTC calcium/D3. I know I/we can live with it if it means living but it sure would be nice to feel good about ourselves on the outside even if inside we may not be at our best.

I started Letrozole in December 2020 and am shocked at the amount of hair I am losing. My Care Team never told me about this, and sounded surprised when I mentioned it.... 4.5 more years to go!! Ugh! But grateful to be cancer free!
