Re: Post Femara and hair loss

Valerie, I had medium thickness of hair to start out with. I didn't really notice hair loss when looking in the mirror and no one ever mentioned that it looked thinner. The most noticeable sign of hair loss was in the shower drain catch after washing my hair. It just looked like so much and now that I am post-Femara, I see less hair in the shower. I think curely hair shows less thinning also. I also used Nioxin shampoo and conditioner because that is known to help the hair follicle at the base of the roots.
