Hi  i went through 5 months of chemotherapy and lost most of my hair, but it has finally come back although slow growing. I'm starting on letrazole and zoladex injections and am worried about the side effects. What has people's experience been with hair loss and other reactions pleas 

  • I've been on Letrazole since around last May/June.  My hair has come out a bit more than usual when it is washed/brushed, but seems to have settled down recently. It does feel slightly thinner around the front-but not obviously so.  My knees are a bit stiff and a tad achey too, but nothing horrendous.  And intimate dryness is an issue, but Im using the YES moisturiser. 

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
