Hair - 2 years after chemo, 2 years on hormone therapy

Options

I've noticed that my hair has been shedding more the past few months. I'm trying to determine if it's letrozole related or if this is just my hair getting back to a regular growth/shed cycle. I remember with my eyebrows they all kind of fell out and grew back a few times before they got on different schedules. Has anyone else noticed more head hair shedding 2 years after chemo?

    This is exactly what I am experiencing as well! I had a full hysterectomy in December 2016, & I have been on letrozole for a while now. My husband says it looks like a small animal is in the drain each morning! I am so thankful to be alive & well, but this shedding is unreal

    I feel a little better to read I'm not the only one...I feel like I didn't shed any hairs at all for the first 2 years so maybe this is normal for people who are growing new(ish) hair? I had been taking zoladex shots and then had an ooph in Sept so I'm also post-menopausal. I just hope the shedding slows down soon
