Doc , my hair has just growing back very slowly. Will Arimidex stop the growth? Please help.

No, I do not think it will stop the growth. Though they mention, that occasionally it may cause hair fall, it is very rare; in fact, many of my patients are taking Anastrozole or Letrozole; not may have significant hair fall.

Great and thanks once again. Is any extra care for hair growth needed while on HRT. Can you please suggest a good oil for hair growth please?

No extra care needed. Just a few precautions, do not use strong shampoos. Everything should be mild.

I do not know of any specific oil. Just do not use too thick oils. They block the pores.

With chemotherapy, your treatment is as good as over. Hormone Therapy is a just daily pills. You are as good as normal, and you can do everything, that any normal person would do. No special precautions.
