    Hello Fiona1
    I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having such a tough time of it. Meaning of life challenges are hard to sort out by ourselves. If you’re not already doing it some regular one on one psychological   counseling can make a big difference. 
    My oncologist says that some women experience hair thinning on the Letrozole/Ribo combination, many others don’t. 
    As for me, I have a couple of thin patches hence I’ve chosen to have my hair cut very short. I had a tough time adjusting to it over a four week period and now I’m completely fine with it. I wear a  cap or scarf occasionally, and a wig rarely. 
    I wish you well and much happiness.

    Hey @FYONA1  you've got this, trust in yourself, give it at least the next 3 weeks, and then you will have a week to relax, keep your eye on the big prize, which is extra time with the ones that mean the most to you. Love, Cath.xx
