I am on targeted treatment for stage 4 renal cell carcinoma in my lungs. The treatment (Pazaponib) has turned my hair white. I have tried using my usual Nice ‘n’ Easy permanent hair dye but it does not colour the white at all. Would a hairdresser be able to colour my hair? I don’t mind paying but obviously want to make sure it is possible before spending the money. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
This information on pazopanib does mention that taking the drug can cause loss of hair colour although it does go on to say that this effect is usually temporary.
Could I suggest that you join the secondary lung cancer group and post your question there. You might also find joining the kidney cancer group helpful.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself or post a question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If the members of these groups can't answer your question you could post it in ask a nurse and one of the specialist nurses will respond within 2 working days.
