Another thing I’ve noticed through lock down my armpit only grows up top hair, I guess that’s rads but it’s another change in my body I did not do myself Frowning2

  • Hi Alex3105 welcome to the forum.

    I imagine it will be the radiotherapy as I had the same but it  has come back now so hope on the horizon.

    Sending best wishes for now. x

  • Bizarrely I have no armpit hair....under both arms...so must be chemo? 
    One small thing that’s positive anyway!

    I finished chemo exactly a year ago and the hair on my head has come through really thick and wavy whereas it was dead straight before chemo. Like you I have no armpit hair so that’s a plus

    I finished chemo 5 years and haven't had armpit or leg hairs since 

  • Mmmm still got leg hair....but my head hair has gone bonkers! It was really straight and thick....now very curly and thick....also darker I think! With no hair dressers working I look like a fully paid up member of the hair bear bunch! Wild!

    My husband has some clippers we used to have for our dog and he used them to trim my hair as I was looking like I had a busby on my head. Like you it was just going wild. He didn’t do too bad a job although he hadn’t a clue how to shape it so it is just a shortened version of a busby Slight smile
