Hair loss after nearly 4yrs post chemotherapy

[Fizog]

I am also in the thinning hair club🙁 Had blood tests which were all fine, my Dr suggested I take an iron supplement, even though my iron levels were fine .......it seems to have strengthened my hair and nails. Less hair is falling out so hopefully I can hold on to what I have left.

 My hairdresser said there is nothing you can do other than be clever with the styling or have it cut short!!

My grandmother had thin hair in her 80s, I'm guessing the letrezole has fast forwarded my hair 2040!!!

Hiya. Its the letrozole causing it. I am nearly six months down the line and its thinning.
All I can suggest is wash it once a week with simple shampoo and avoid colouring it. I have had to stop my highlights too.

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP.  I lost my hair during chemo, but it grew back - though not as good as it was before.  I was started on Letrozole and my hair has continued to thin. I DO NOT want to be naturally grey so have been dying it on a regular basis.  Unfortunately the hair has been falling out - presumably because of the hair dye.  My hair is now quite thin on top and I don't know what to do.  ?continue with hair dying OR HAS ANYONE FOUND ANOTHER WAY OF KEEPING MY LIGHT BROWN COLOUR.  I am getting desperate to find an answer as my hair is a major aspect in my life.
