Hi

i I am now  2 years on since diagnosis, completing chemo last June. I’ve been on letrozole for 15 months and 9 months on Ribociclib. Have been doing well generally , stamina returning and feeling positive. However over the months on Ribociclib I’ve been gradually losing my hair again which I’m finding very hard to deal with. I keep beating myself up that I shouldn’t be vain but can’t help feeling so worried about this. I am now seriously considering stopping Ribo. I’ve got a review next month and wondered if anyone else has had this problem and if so any advice. I know I should be thankful that I’m well at the moment but this is really beginning to affect me mentally and I’m struggling. Sorry for the long post but would be great to hear from someone who understands! TIA 

  • Hi  sorry to hear about your challenges.

    Thus is a general post cancer treatment group so not cancer type specific……

    I see you have been posting in the Breast cancer support group…… could I suggest that you put up the same post in the BC group as you will most likely connect with more people who have navigated these challenges.
