7 months ago, I had de vinci robot surgery, epiglottis removed because of cancer mass on it...did not need chemo or radiation..

3 weeks ago, my hair started falling out by the handfuls, I take several different medicines now but really don't know where to turn to see if the combination could be causing this...I don't think I stress about things, am busy , but yet take it easy when I want, love my husband and family...please , any ideas and solutions??

Carolyn,

I would certainly look at the medicines. Something similar happened to my wife, not as severe as you, her hair started to thin out. The Doctor then switched her medicines.

Research each medicine on line and then see if combinations of two or three may cause problems with hair loss.

My wife was not taking med's for cancer, but for other health issues.

My Best to You and Everyone Here

Also, have your protien levels checked. Low levels also have that side effect.
