Hello, I was diagnosed with MBC in November and started treatment in January 2025. Letrozole and ribociclib. I've notice that my hair line is receeding, my eyebrows are thinner. Are there recommended treatments/products that I can use that won't interfere with my treatment. Thank you, Carol.

Thank you for your kind message and helpful information. Carol
Dear Grogancarol.
Thank you for posting on our online forum. I am sorry to read that you were diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. I do hope that you are doing ok. I also hope you hear from others who may be able to address your query. In the meantime, I am attaching some information that you might find helpful.
Get in the habit of being kind to your hair. Don't bleach, colour, relax or perm your hair. This can weaken it. Air-dry your hair as much as possible. Try to avoid heating devices such as curling irons and hot rollers. Use a gentle shampoo that stimulate the roots- your pharmacy should be able to recommend an appropriate shampoo range. Shampoos are very unlikely to interact with your current medication .
If you would like to speak to a cancer nurse for support, advice, or a listening ear, please call our support line. Our number is 1800 200 700, and we are here Monday-Friday, from 0900-1700.
