I am almost at the end of a 28 day course of radiochemotherapy for anal cancer - 3 days to go! I had one infusion on day one and have been taking 6 Capecitabine tablets every day. I was wondering how soon if it will be ok to have my hair coloured ?
Well done - only three days left - you will be so relieved when you don't have the daily trek to the hospital!
Apparently Capecitabine can cause scalp sensitivity. I wasn't affected at all, but we are all different, so this isn't advice to go and get your hair done. I am not an expert at all so I honestly don't know. It would probably be a good idea to ask the oncologist who should have a much better idea of when it is safe.
The best of luck, I really hope you get what you want!
I finished my treatment 6/11/24 and got my highlights done in the december basically as soon as i could get an appointment. It is probably best to check with the oncologist though. X
