Hi there
i am new to the group and have just completed eight sessions of chemotherapy - four EC and four Taxol. I have a four week break and then nine daily sessions of radiotherapy. I used the cool cap for all eight sessions but unfortunately lost most of my hair and am keen to start on a hair growth supplement - Viviscal seems to come most highly recommended, but I’m not sure how soon after completing chemo I can start. Does anyone know?
Hope you are all well and the thanks so much.

Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can't help with your question but I noticed that your post hadn't had any response so far.
I typed 'viviscal' into the group search bar but yours was the only post that mentions this hair growth supplement. That, of course, doesn't mean that no one else has tried it just that they haven't posted about it. By replying to you your post will be 'bumped' back to the top of the discussions list where it will be more easily seen.
It always best to discuss the use of any supplements with your breast care team before starting them. This is to ensure that they do not interact with any treatment you may be receiving. They are also best placed to advise over what they feel may be of benefit for you to use safely.
It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
