Hello, I’m halfway through my ABVD treatment for lymphoma and I still have some hair but it’s VERY thin now! Can anyone recommend a good shampoo to use please as my normal shampoo for coloured hair is doing nothing for my lack lustre hair now. Thank you! 

  • Hi , I see it’s your first post so welcome to the Community. I am dropping in past from our various Lymphoma groups and I do see you have already joined our Hodgkin lymphoma group.

    Could I suggest that you put this post up in the HL group as ABVD is a very strong treatment compared to other chemos.

    I have NHL and my chemo was also so very strong and I actually lost all my hair within 7 days so can’t help with shampoo suggestions…. although the structural integrity of your hair will have been temporarily damaged so it may not make any difference as to what you use on the hair you have left as the chemo effect will be too strong Rolling eyes ((hugs))
