what are people using for scalp care and is there anything for regrowth enhancing of hair
thank you for reading
Hi, well done for managing the cold cap. Sorry it didn't save your hair.
I had 5 of 6 cycles. Oncologist decided to not do 6th due to various side effects.
I lost all my hair from day 10 of the first cycle~and I do mean ALL from every part of my body! My last chemo session was end of March and my hair is back and although still short it's very thick.
I found my head was very itchy when my hair started o grow back and I used Ozalys which did help a bit.
Good morning Nina65
I just completed 6 rounds of Carbotaxel and shaved my hair off within the 1st 2 weeks back in june so l could donate it. I quite liked the look at first. I was surprised how dark it had been at the roots. But now it looks silver and so fine sprouting at all different lengths. It looks awful, although l dont mind the colour.
You say your hair has grown back thick since march. Have you left it to grow these past 6 months? Did it start off wispy and then thicken up. I'm not sure which way to go now. To cut or not to cut?
Anyway l really hope you are ok now and over the chemo x
