Hi has anyone had any issues of hair loss with Cabozantinib? I’ve only been on it a couple of weeks but I’m finding my scalp is itchy and I’m starting to lose hair. It’s all a bit scary and had expected it to just thin .

thanks 

  • Hi when my husband was on it he got a rash on his scalp and it itched a lot, he was given cream to help it, can't say he noticed any hair loss as he was bald anyway lol 

  • I am three months into immunotherapy with cabozantinib/nivolumab. My hair is thinner and slow growing. I get “pimples” on my scalp which then dry up and my scalp is itchy a lot of the time. Additionally, my skin is generally itchy, not always easy to deal with. I have read that hair loss sometimes happens, but not always. My hair also covers a craniotomy scar. 

  • Hi ,

    I have been on Nivolumab and Cabozantinib  since January and do suffer from an itchy scalp and pimples in my thinning hair, along with a list of other side effects. The good news is that the treatment appears to be working
