Hair thinning during anastrozole treatment is a concern many patients share, and it's completely understandable to feel frustrated about this side effect. Consider discussing this with your healthcare team, as they may suggest gentle hair care routines, recommend specific products, or explore whether adjusting your treatment approach could help while still maintaining your cancer care goals.

Rogaine! There is one just for women. It’s worked great for me and my oncologist says it’s perfectly safe to use. He actually suggested it!

I have it and my dermatologist told me to use the men’s. I just hate the greasy feeling of it. Thank you for your response 🥰
