Hi there... yes they are related. I had my entire thyroid removed due to cancer and was not allowed to start my thyroid meds until post radiation tx. The thyroid was removed in May and radiation did not begin until the end of July. Needless to say I was EXTREEMLY hypothyroid and one of the many lovely side effects is hair loss... as well as brittleness, dullness etc...This was all pre-radiation tx, all due to hypothyroid. I have started thyroid meds and am slowly getting back to normal, my hair is no longer falling out as much and appears much healthier!!
