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 Mel

    Mine started to come out after the first chemo session and it's still doing it a month after treatment.

    I had my hair cut short pre treatment and also have lots of hair, so not really noticeable.

    Well done for getting to the half way mark.

    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
