I've only just joined so hopefully it will help me a lot. I finished my Chemo in January 2010 & within a month my hair started to come thru..not thick but at least it was coming back. In the last 2months it seems to be getting thinner on the top..it's OK at the sides & back..I was just wondering if anyone else has gone thru this & what did they do for it...Please help...
Hi there Louise, I can't help you with the hair problems you are having as I was fortunate enough not to have needed Chemo, but we have plenty of ladies on line who will be only too happy to share their experiences with you.
I'm so pleased you have chosen to join us here in "blog-land" and I hope you will pop in at any time for a chat. You don't need a reason, just treat us like your next-door neighbours - you know , the ones where you just arrive in time for a cuppa (though we can't provide that yet .... Di is still working on cyber-coffee!!)
Take care of yourself
Cheers ..... Shirl xx
Hi Louise,
It might depend on which chemo combo you had.I had docetaxil and cyclophos.and finished last July.Well I was completely bald for over 2mths.My oncologist said that Taxatore is harder on your hair folicles and my hair would take longer.Now (over 6mths later)I have about 2cms of hair over my head in varying lengths and thickness.No fringe yet so am wearing my own designed headbands.I'm on Tamoxifen and thin hair is a side effect but I seem to be ok. I'm taking Blackmores hair,skin,nail vitamin -I like to think it helps! Tonya
