Arimidex hair loss

Hi there, so I have been on Arimidex for one week and already noticed some hair loss with more than normal hair on my hair brush. Will this continue? I'd like to know other people's experience and how much more hair loss I might expect.

    I'm on tamoxifen and my hair on top is obviously thinning.  I hope it stops soon!

    @Aska I lost a lot of hair during menopause which eventually grew back but not the same, and now I have to go through that again! I have read that Minoxidil might help.

    Hi @staton I’ve been on this for seven years plus ibrance now. Though i never had a lot of hair before all this. It is definitely a lot less now. Yes thanks to bc and treatment but also age. Cant blame genetics when i look at the generations before me they all had a good head of hair male and female.  
    as its gotten worse the hair cuts are getting shorter and shorter. Ive been very tempted to go no 2 all over but my hairdresser friend says not yet. I’m so white now that my scalp looks darker than my hair 
    i see a lot of adds for men on hair loss solution but none so much for women. Go figure  
    if you find a solution thats guaranteed let us in on it.
