Hair loss

Hi and welcome to the Online Community. You don't mention what your mum is about to start treatment for - it might be a good idea to join the relevant forum for her cancer so's you'll be able to ask questions share experiences with other members.

I didn't have chemo so no hair loss so bit stumped as to what to advise. I'd suggest calling the Macmillan Information and Support helpline (number shown below) They're able to help with most questions so fingers crossed they'll come up with something!

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your mum's journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time. 

To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section. 

Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
