Hi Mags44,
I've also experienced noticeable hair thinning. I've been on letrozole and ribocliclib (previously palbociclib) for 14 months for metastatic breast cancer.
I received information early with tips to try to minimise hair thinning: use a gentle baby shampoo, reduce frequency of hair washing, don't use hair dryers or curlers, try not to use hair bands (reduce pulling on the hair), use combs/brushes that are gentle on the hair.
I spoke with my oncologist about it. She said there are mixed results from hair growth medications in people who have hair thinning from metastatic breast cancer drugs. She recommended seeing a dermatologist to discuss it further. I haven't done that yet, but will discuss it with him when I have my next skin review (for another condition).
If you have scalp irritation, perhaps that may need to be looked at and assessed? A dermatologist could do that.
I don't know if hair extension/weaves are suitable or not with our type of drug-induced hair thinning - but perhaps that could be looked into.
Wishing you all the best.
