Hi
i I am now 2 years on since diagnosis, completing chemo last June. I’ve been on letrozole for 15 months and 9 months on Ribociclib. Have been doing well generally , stamina returning and feeling positive. However over the months on Ribociclib I’ve been gradually losing my hair again which I’m finding very hard to deal with. I keep beating myself up that I shouldn’t be vain but can’t help feeling so worried about this. I am now seriously considering stopping Ribo. I’ve got a review next month and wondered if anyone else has had this problem and if so any advice. I know I should be thankful that I’m well at the moment but this is really beginning to affect me mentally and I’m struggling. Sorry for the long post but would be great to hear from someone who understands! TIA
Hi Riamdd5081
Sorry to hear this. I have no experience at all, but as your post is about to drop to the 2nd page, I thought I'd answer to see if anyone is around who can help you at the moment.
One thought I would have is perhaps trying to get a shampoo/conditioner which promotes hair growth. Rather than any 'dodgy' companies, I just did a quick search and Boots came up with a section of "Hair Growth Shampoos", so it might be that popping in to speak to a pharmasist in Boots could be a step to take before stopping your medication.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
