My main reason for joining the forum is to get feedback about lack of hair regrowth. I’m over 2 years from my last chemo treatment with very little hair. My oncologist promised it would grow back, but it’s very thin on top; a little longer on the sides. My husband has shaved my head a couple times to try to encourage regrowth without much success. I’m using NuHair Serum and Biotin conditioner. I’m thinking the Femara is probably suppressing hair growth. Still wearing a wig every day; have a couple spares received as a donation from a Cancer Center. Just wondering it anyone else is experiencing this problem.
Hi survivorpi
