Hair loss

I see you have asked your question in the Breast cancer group - this will most likely be the best place to connect with others and get answers.

Hi there! I know everyone is different but just from my personal experience, I started losing my hair around the 2nd round of chemo (FEC-T), I shaved it short and it’s now just very thin although not completely bald! I’m having my 3rd round next week. My consultant said it’s very rare you won’t lose your hair but it is a possibility, it could just get thinner ‍

Hi there

As said by as said by KC88 everybody is different. I had radiotherapy and chemotherapy and it was the radiotherapy that caused her loss for me. As soon as the radiotherapy was finished the hair loss stopped and started to grow back. Chemotherapy didn’t affect my hair at all. The doctor said that about 1% of people don’t lose any hair at all and somebody has to be that one percent.

I guess it depends what your hair is like to start off with, mine is thick and there’s a lot of it so even when I lost about half with radiotherapy nobody really noticed 

I've recently shaved my head now as it began coming out.
