Hello I was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in August 2025 I’ve had immunotherapy, major surgery where the lining of my lung and lymph nodes were removed. I then had radiotherapy. I’m waiting for scan.
Immunotherapy caused my thyroid to become underactive for which I now take Levothyroxine.
I sm losing lots and lots of hair. Been told that immunotherapy and radiotherapy wouldn’t cause this.
I never purchased many hair loss shampoos and serums but still coming out in handfalls every day.
any advise would be much appreciated.
