And now a new phenomenon..

Just realized today I have developed a furry face! A fuzzy down around the outside…guessing its the anastroxole.Not sure how I feel about it…suppose it’ll keep me warm if nothing else!

Snap! but from letrozole

Hi Treeze don’t worry too much about it.  I too developed soft downy hairs whilst on Tamoxifen.  Switched to Anastrozole couple of weeks back and did hope it might disappear but not yet! :open_mouth: Still i find if I don’t look too closely in the mirror I can forget about it although it was a bit of a shock at first I don’t think it’s noicebable to other peple though! :slight_smile:

Hello Treeze - Im on anastrozole and am getting some whiskers on my chin, but the hair on my head is coming out excessively and is looking somewhat thin and flat!  I’m going to be one of those old ladies with hardly any hair on their heads but it all on my face!  Trying to keep smiling!

Definitely the anastrozle, I went for my first wax since chemo and she asked whether i wanted the sides waxing also!! I looked like I had a big red beard when I came out !!!

Hi Treeze

SNAP! I am on letrozoe and initially put it down to my hair needing to ‘burst’ out after having been dormant through the chemo.

Especially as my head hair is growing like crazy, too.

I am now 4 months into my letrozole. Initially I used some nail scissors to keep it in check. And then at Christmas I took to waxing. It does seem to have calmed down a little bit. Thank goodness it is blond!

Lol!! You have to laugh don’t you? Mine is quite.dark…I’ll be like the wolfman!

My tweezers weep as I approach …

I’m thinking big guns home laser?!

I now have that hamlet advert in mind ?

Crickey you lot I am off to inspect my face in the mirror, ohh that might be a bit scary, ok I’ll leave it til tomorrow :slight_smile:

Ooh I could rock that look Rubycat, although I don’t think my cat would laugh!

Oh thank goodness!! You ladies have no idea how happy you have made me!! (Sorry)

its not just me then!! I’ve been taking tamoxifen since the 1st Nov 2016 and I’ve noticed since the start of this year I’m developing sideburns!!! They’re really blonde thankfully but what a shock it was to see them!! 

They play havoc when u try to put makeup on as they just stick down and you can’t blend in any foundation - not important I know in the grand scheme of everything else we go through but annoying all the same!!

i am so relieved its not just me!!Lol ?

I broke my tweezers!!!

Plucking!!!

It was the strain!

And that makes my day Helena! Xx
