I have been on letrazole for nearly 2 years and have noticed hair loss in the form of a bald patch on the crown. I had breast cancer and a mastectomy but luckily no chemo or radiotherapy. I am waiting for reconstruction.
I have started using alpecin shampoo and taking a herbal remedy. Does anyone have any further ideas. It is upsetting me!!
