arimidex

My mother is on arimidex, after having pre-cancerous cells removed from her breast 2 years ago. She understands hair loss is a side effect, which she is experiencing.  She wonders if there is any sort of chemotherapy solution in the medication.

Hi,

What is her age? Since when is she on arimidex or anastrazole?

What has been the diagnosis in her case and what has the oncologist advised about the duration of treatment with arimidex?

The hair changes or side effects of arimidex on hair are reversible and reverse gradually once the drug is stopped.

Let us know about how your mother is doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
