Hair loss with adjuvant Tamoxifen after Lumpectomy Postmenopausal?

Hi, I am of similar age to you and have just started on Letrozplole yesterday, and one of my biggest concerns is hair loss.  Probably sounds a bit daft when you read the info that comes with the drug about possible side effects-such scary stuff!!  But it seems from here that there is a lot of variation as to side effects/severity.  The thing is that hair loss can be so noticeable, whereas a slightly mis-shaped boob isn't on show for the world to see.

I breezed through my menopause 15 years ago, so let's see what the induced one brings . I wasn't given any choice of drug-although being post menopausal, I don't think tamoxifen would have been an option.

Hello,  I am on anastrazole which is an aromatase inhibitor and have noticed hair thinning.  I bought the Irestore helmet about 3 years ago and use it every other day.  It is red light therapy and has helped with thinning hair.  It was about $700 on sale but that is the older model and the new model is very expensive. My hair was always thick but did have thinning.  I think I am doing ok with my hair.  
I have muscle aches mostly in my thighs, dry skin, dry mouth and dry vagina.  Hot flashes on and off.  I exercise regularly to keep myself in shape and eat a plant based diet.  I am 76 now and had breast cancer when was almost 72 years old.  Had DCIS in right breast and stage 1 in left.  Two lumpectomies, bilateral radiation and Anastrazole for 5 years.  I have about 2 years left on Anastrazole.  All in all doing good and keeping active really helps me.

Hugs to you.  I do miss my HRT as I took it for 17 years.  Boo hoo but no more HRT for me.  

Hi, I am about to start on the same drug and keen to hear how you are getting on, I have read lots of mixed reviews

Hi Marietta, I have been taking Letrazole for  about 3 weeks now and luckily I don't seem to have any huge side effects.   I seem to be losing a bit more hair than usual when I wash it, but I always used to lose some and have lots on my hairbrush anyway.  And my skin is a tad drier-but not excessively so.  I have noticed intimate dryness tho-something that I have never been bothered with before, but again, not excessively so.  Oh and maybe a slight lowering of mood-but that might be because I'm feeling a bit stir crazy as I'm ready for getting back to work, to my own home ( I'm staying at my partners in the country during my recouperation from surgeries)  and normality lol..

But all in all I consider myself lucky -as many people report pretty debilitating bone pain etc. 

Oh and I asked for the Accord brand of Letrazole after reading on here about some people  having lesser side effects.
