Hi everyone I gave invasive ductal cancer and am taking 6 months of Letrozole before surgery. My hair seems to be thinning due to the medication. Has anyone had experience of this or know of anything I can use to help please. Thanks
Hi Woody14, I had some hair loss issues a few years ago (not bc related). I saw a dermatologist and was recommended viviscal 3 times a week. I have fine hair and found that ogx biotin / collagen shampoo makes a difference to my hair too. I will be starting letrozole soon and am anxious about it triggering hair loss - it’s a common side effect. Hope it eases up soon, X
