Very slow hair growth

Hi Lisnic welcome to the forum and so glad to hear that at least all the treatment is past for you.

I dont know enough about the question that you are asking or the solutions that have been suggested but I do wonder if you might like to give the Macmillan Line a call and speak to one of the Specialist Advisors there and they may or may not be able to answer any queries that you may have.  08088080000.

Best wishes meantime. x 

Can I ask if you had Docetaxel, as it can affect future hair growth.  Some people find taking supplements like Biotin (a B vitamin), vitamin A, D, Zinc etc can help.  Castor oil has helped my eyebrows and lashes so far, and shine people use it on their head overnight.  Fingers crossed that it starts to thicken soon.  Xx

Hi

i finished treatment this time last year. (FEcT) The hair was really slow to come through....I used grow gorgeous products to begin with. They aren’t cheap ...but I reckoned I hadn’t had a hair cut in over 6 months! I used scalp mask and shampoo and conditioner to start with....then just continued with shampoo. link below

I have no idea if it had any impact but my hair has recovered....although it is very curly...mmm which I guess I can get used to! 

Good luck....

Hi

Hi

I did have Docetaxel for the last 3 rounds.

I’ve actually brought some Biotin today so hopefully it will help.  I read last night about castor oil so will try that too.

Thankyou for your help!

Hi Lisnic,

I had 8 rounds of chemo and then radio, managed to keep my hair albeit thin. Treatment finished end of Nov 2019. I have started using Manes & Tales shampoo which I ordered online and its really helping my hair. Just a thought for you! Wish you all the best.
