Hi again everyone,
I'm just passed the halfway point in treatment: 28 radiation sessions; Mitomycin and 5FU during week 1 and beginning of 5).
Yesterday, I noticed an unusual amount of hair coming out when I washed my scalped. I knew there might be a chance of this, but I was still surprised. Has anyone else experience hair thinning?
I appreciate your support!
Hi Mel77d2f884
I had a bit come out but if I hadn't seen it when I combed it I don't think i would have noticed. I do have a lot of hair though. Well done on getting half way., keep counting those days down. Sending hugs. Xx
