Sudden hair loss and letrozole

0 replies

So, I’m on hormone therapy to treat breast cancer ( letrozole) and am 18 months in to potentially 10 years of treatment.
The side effects have settled, or at least I’ve got used to it, feeling tired, aches etc.
However this morning I realised that all my body hair has gone! I still have head hair and eyelashes, and my eyebrows had been falling out for months.
I had radiotherapy but not chemo.
I’m just not sure what to do next, anyone experienced this, and not lost their head hair?
Is there any point seeing my GP?
