Hi. Can anyone tell me how long it took for their hair to come back after finishing chemo please? Head and eyelashes please?
Struggling to find proper info on when it may start growing/when do cells recover/when is the chemo out of your system etc?
Thank you x
Hi
It will start to grow maybe after a month or 2. I believe it is very individual to each person.I am maybe 9 months on now have a good amount ie enough for a short hairstyle need to get a trim some people have more so hard to say. I did find hair everywhere else grow faster bit annoying
That’s good to know thank you.
Haha yes I can imagine, that’s always the way isn’t it.
