Oestrogen blocker hair loss

Same here . I’ve been on Anastrazole for 8 weeks and I have very thick hair but it’s now dry and shedding . 
I also was borderline osteopenia , which really surprise me as I’ve always run and lifted weights , no booze or smoking but I I have an underactive thyroid .

It’s irritating isn’t it?  I’m not complaining & I certainly wouldn’t stop my meds, but I do think your confidence takes a bit of a knock when your hair changes. I’ll ask my hairdresser next week if she can recommend any product but I don’t want medication. It seems every medication has a side effect that needs another medication which also has side effects. Got to draw the line somewhere haven’t we?

I was thinking of exemestane but no good of it had the same effect . I also take the d/k and calcium . I read that lots of omega 3 foods can help but that probably only works on “ normal” ladies . 

I’m worried about the bone loss too .

I’m doing all the omega 3 foods too. My breast surgeon put me on Adcal etc & my GP rang me & advised Alendronic acid but  my dentist was a bit antsy about it as it can have really bad side effects ( see, those darn side effects again). So I spoke to my surgeon again & he said he doesn’t think I need anything other than Adcal etc, plenty of walking, good food & sunshine. I’m also doing bone strengthening exercises. I’ll revisit the Alendronic if there is a marked deterioration in bone loss next year. 

I’m trying !

my oncologist rolled his eyes at biphosphonstes , luckily . I’m back into exercise , so trying to slowly lift weights . And run .

I’m seeing surgeon next week , onco will sign me off soon , hee radiotherapy, so will see what surgeon says .

good luck x

Update. I have done some research & although this isn’t scientifically backed, I thought I would share with you. I found a shampoo which “ claims” to slow down hair loss. It’s Pantene Grow Strong with Biontin and Bamboo. I got it from Amazon £7.50 but its a huge 1L bottle so I decanted it into a smaller bottle as my bathroom is only small. Also, I saw some recommendations for pumpkin oil or rosemary oil so I ordered both & used them as directed on damp hair. Unfortunately, this made my hair really lank so I washed it again & applied it after drying as that is when I normally apply dry hair oil & this was much better. Remains to be seen whether it’s affective, but thought it worth giving it a go.
