Hair loss

Hello Scaredbutpositive,

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with persistent hair loss from your chemo treatments.

I can understand that it must be upsetting to still have some bald areas and thin hair. 

I am not sure which type of chemo you had but perhaps it would be time to go to your doctor and get checked over?

I am wondering about a blood test to make sure you are not deficient in anything that could be affecting your hair regrowth. It may also be worth asking if there is anything that could be prescribed to help. Your GP would also be able to look at any current medication that you are on and see if they may delay hair regrowth. It may be worth a try.

Thank you Jane. I have a GP appointment and will definitely discuss it. 
kind regards

Hi, sorry your regrowth is slow, I’m 8 wks post last chemo  (3x FEC 3x T & it’s coming back on my head , I cold capped & lost 80% but my bald monks patch is looking ok. however the rest of me is still fair free with eyelashes just starting to sprout

 Did you have T (docetaxel / taxotere)? One rare side effect is that the hair never recovers so worth getting that check up with the GP

good luck, let us know how it goes x

That's great- let us know how you get on 

Hi, yes I did have Docetaxel/taxotere trust me to have the rare side effect. My eyebrows and lashes are still fairly scarce too.

I think I will def need a chat when I can get an appt.

thank you Rubberduck. X

Keep the faith x
