Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about you losing your hair after your first treatment.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
You don't say what type of cancer you have as different types of chemo have different effects.
I had a blood cancer and my hair was like snow on a warm day - I actually lost it three times........ and yes it does grow back. Sometimes thiner, sometimes thicker, sometimes a different colour.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our supportive This Community is organised into various support groups so this is the list for our Cancer specific Groups.
Follow the link I've created above, have a look round and join the best group for your type of cancer, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
