How soon after chemotherapy and radiotherapy can I go back to using perfumed shower gel and shampoo and conditioner 

I finished radiotherapy on 13th July, my hair and eyebrows are coming on now and I’ve got about 6 hairs on one leg 

Thankyou Two heartsTwo hearts

    If there was an emoji laugh I would laugh at your 6 leg hairs! I’m still as bald as a badger EVERYWHERE..Don’t actually miss not having to wash/dry/condition my hair!!   Joy

  • I never stopped using normal shower gel throughout chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and I’ve been fine, I’m sure they just discourage the use of these things as a precaution, I bet you’ll be fine! Although, as Tavares said; the six inch hairs are pretty extreme Joy

  • Sorry you’re still as bald as a badger Tavares! I’m sure your head hair will get established soon enough! I had my last chemo April 21st and now have a thick thatch basin cut affair going on! Not very glam, but I’m getting there! WinkJoy. I have one hairy armpit, but the radiotherapy side is badger-ish! Stuck out tongue winking eyexxx
