hair thinning with letrozol

I have been taking letrozol for just under one year. I had a lot of aches and pains to start with, but they have now almost completely settled. My hair is thinner on top and the texture is different. Has anybody noticed any parallels between the aches and pains and the hair thinning? I am hoping the hair thinning stops and improves in parallel with the aches and pains.

  • Hi mariaR,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately I can't offer much advice for your question, although this page has some information on Letrozole. I can see that thinning hair isn't a common side effect. Hopefully it improves soon for you, but if you're concerned about anything in particular it's best to discuss with your doctor.

    Otherwise, if anyone has any similar experience then hopefully they'll be along here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
