So it’s been 2 weeks to the day since my first chemo treatment. On Monday I noticed my hair has started to fall out and 2 days on and more and more hair is falling out. I was at my local shopping center today and I was going to get my head shaved but I found myself over whelmed and chicken out. Any tips on when or where I…
Hi, been looking through old posts on this but wondered if there was anything new? 2 months post chemo and my hair is coming back nicely BUT it's very salt and pepper.. which would be ok but my eyebrows are coming back in my original dark blonde which is making me feel really self conscious and I don't look like me.

I chose to do a neoadjuvant treatment and start with chemotherapy to allow genetic testing to happen and give me some time to think about the…
How long did it take for you to lose your chemo curls? I’m 6 months past chemo & my hair is growing quite fast, but I think it’s getting curlier 🧐. Wouldn’t mind getting my straightish hair back now (although I am happy just having hair)
I got my first post-chemo haircut yesterday (as opposed to the No. 1 I gave myself). I hadn't seen my lovely hairdresser since before this shit began. I didn't want to tell her what was going on over the phone as she has lost too many close family members over the last couple of years to various cancers. But she knew as…
Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if there is a thread or category on here where you can post items for sale? Thanks in advance, Rachael.
