Let me know
I will be starting on the treatment this coming week. Did you begin the Zometa when you finished chemo and had hair back or when you had already lost hair and not grown back? Angela0 -
don't worry
Actually, I found out the hair loss is not connected to the Zometa (I called the company that makes Zometa and they said it was not a side effect). My hair is just growing back thin after chemo or maybe it's a Femara side effect. I'm seeing a dermatologist on Friday about the hair issue, so I'll let you know.

Something I did that helped me was to really massage my head. I bought one of those plastic things you buy to hold the bar of soap. It has plastic prongs and I used it to massage the head. It is like circulating the scalp helps growth. Maybe ...maybe not working. Thanks for letting me know about the hair.0
