I have been cancer free now for 4 years. I just had a scare because my blood levels went up. Somthing I didnt know is that blood test can have a false positive test result. After all the testing and retesting, I am still cancer free and taking Femera. I am now having hair loss. (I lost all of my hair while on chemo). Is this somthing Femera causes? Is it somthing to do with being in menopause? Is there anything I can do about it?

Q: Hair loss while on Femera

Hi - A small percentage of women do experience hair loss while on Femara. I've read it can be treated with a topical steroid, or with male hair-loss products, like Rogaine... I'd say ask your doctor what you can do to treat it, or ask for a referral to a dermatologist. Good luck - PJH
