Hair Growth After Chemotherapy
I would like to know that the hair which are growing after the chemotherapy are healthy , should they be kept or should it be discarded and let the new ones grow after sometime , i am really confused . also the hair which are growing are all grey , what to do , pls answer my query. waiting for the reply. thanx
All the hair that survived the chemotherapy should continue to grow. The hair that is in your hands that has already fallen out is not worth keeping, but new hair should grow to replace what has fallen out in less than a year.
I finished my chemotherapy about six weeks ago. My hair is returning almost everywhere – unfortunately I have a virtually bald spot at the crown and an odd 1.5 inch bald strip that runs straight back from my forehead. It’s like I parted my hair with a safety razor.
Will this hair EVER grow back????
I’m looking pretty funny.
Could someone please help me? I did not lose my hair during chemo. It thinned and shed, but it still looked normal. Now, 6 weeks AFTER CHEMO HAS ENDED, it is rapidly continuing to shed, to the point that the entire crown is practically bald. I had to get a wig, AFTER CHEMO. The dr said I could expect shedding for 4 weeks post chemo, but like I said it’s now 6 weeks post chemo and shows no signs of ending. has anyone else experienced this? Please help and feel free to email me directly survive24@gmail.com. Thank you!!
Stacy, I am having the same problem. For me it is 5 weeks since my last chemo appt and I am losing more hair now than I did the entire time I went thru chemo. Did the dr tell you what is causing it…because mine didn’t really give me an answer…
