We naturally get nervous about hair. My head hair started shedding - not coming out noticeably but much more stray hairs than previously - a year after chemo. Several consultations later we concluded that my shedding pattern had simply changed - I shed very little hair, or at least that I could see, before chemo. It’s been perfectly stable since, I just shed a bit more than I used to. My body hair has certainly slowed if not stopped but I am pretty sure that’s age! Your GP may be able to advise if Pfizer has an effect on hair but I’d agree that chemo changes to hair can take years to fully adjust. Best wishes.
