Nizoral is for dandruff but has ketonozole which slows down hair loss. Use only twice a week and condition well

Wanted to see her about horrible femara side effects. I even offered to go private just to discuss things and options. Finally waited two weeks and was due to see her today on NHS. Got there with my carefully worked out list of questions and was seen not by her but by a member of her team whom I had not met before and who gave me a mini lecture on why I should have had chemo two years ago. He said four lmph nodes were affected. I almost yelled FOUR? I had a micro met in the sentinel node. He had the wrong notes. Waste of time and stressed me out. WTH? How do you change doctors. Anyone else have this problem

I was considering taking this to combat s/e of letrezole esp aching joints when I read that this is a compound that helps breast cancer cells (in particular), to grow and metastase - help! Step away from the bottle. Thank God I checked.

So depressed by this I paid to see a tricologist and did some research on my own First make sure the hair you have is kept healthy, you need strong hair for extensions etc. Eat protein for breakfast Take iron, vit c, b12 and folic acid If like me it is thinning at the front, change your parting Cover really thin bits with Toppix hair powder Minoxodil is the only drug licensed to work but it must be used everyday Cut out shampoos with sulfates, use organic Massage your scalp to get blood to the follicles and use overnight treatments. I like coconut oil and I wear a nylon cap overnight to protect my pillow. Ketonozole shampoo for dandruff has been used off label to slow down thinning. Condition well afterwards. Also you might try Canesthan mixed with your shampoo, side effect hair growth. If all else fails Hot Hair, Qvc etc have braided hair bands, clip in fringes. Do not do what I did and howl in the bath!!!! Love you all.

saw MD today re. femara and joint pain and was told it was a side effect but was better than the alternative! true I am happy to still be on the planet but I wish there was a way of decreasing the side effects without huge amounts of pain killers. On the bright side I now have medication for my acid reflux which works. I have pile on weight but as I am eleven and a half stone the medics don't reckon I am seriously overweight - I hate being this size though, very depressing.

same problem on letrezole. My thumb joint is particularly painful atm. I am on fish oils and glucosamine but I don't know how good they are coz I don't know if it would be worse without them. I am seeing th MD tomorrow about this and will report back any helpful ideas but I don't hold out much hope.

after RADS, last one 4 days ago under my breast is now worse than it was, ulcerated and weeping. I have tried everything to no avail. The hospital only offered me aqueous cream which is useless imo. Any solutions? I have aloe vera, e45, sudoderm etc but nothing is touching it. TIA

yep, I think I posted about this. It is like getting hot knitting needles stabbed into you. Oncologist said it was inflamation caused by RADS and gave me diclofenac, which works a bit but doesn't stop me groaning loudly when I get a sharp stabing pain.

you might want to try henna as it is natural and less harsh on hair. Unless you want to be blonde, you can mix the pwders to get different colours. I use to mix it with ground coffe to get a darker shade.

Hiya I went into menopause at 36 and was on hrt for 17 years. I really wish now that I had just suffered the hot flushes then as I have them now anyhow. Still I was diagnosed in december and have had surgery, am nearly finished RADS and am on femara for 5 years. BC is no fun at any age and every age group has differnt problems to contend with. My main one has been that I cannot drive because of bad eyesight and have to get three buses to the hospital each day. It does make you appreciate living though and the support of loved ones.

I have been on femara for only around 4 months and I have started getting chills especially at night. My oncologist said that it was a counter reaction to the flushes and quite common so tamoxifen might do the same thing.
