I’ve been on Arimidex (aka Anastrozole) 5 yrs and hair loss is issue for me. There is plenty of regrowth and did not lose it all! The quality of my hair changed overall. It’s very thin where parted. Good beautician with cuts and style has helped me feel better.
Yoga & exercise helped for joint pains.

Thank you for this @newgranny ! Encouraging to hear someone is out there getting some regrowth. Feels so vain to be worried about hair, but it's upsetting to lose it to chemo, get it all back, and then start losing it again. Take care.

My Dr. suggested Rogaine for bald spots on the scalp. You need to take it for about 4 months to see if it works though.
