Hello Blush

I am in my fourth week post chemo and Third week post radiotherapy and I know I should be more patient but it’s the one thing that frustrates me the most is my hair shedding . When does it begin to ease off and begin to grow again? I have noticed some tingling sensations which I’ve read as signs of new growth or follicles waking up from treatment but if I had some kind of timeline from others I’d probably feel a bit better , rather  than generic online info . I have a thin layer of hair so didn’t lose it all completely and still have lashes and brows. My hair usually grows quite quickly . 
On another note .. does anyone feel like communication after treatment is non existent ? I feel like it’s “ you e had treatment , off you go .. see you in a couple of months “ i don’t know what i can and can’t do post treatment so finding my self emailing my oncologist via someone else who then forwards the email and waiting days for a response . I assuming as I haven’t been told specifically not to do things then I just crack on as ‘ normal ‘ . I was also referred for therapy at my very first chemo session . This was mid May and I’ve heard nothing since . I don’t need it now ,I needed it during treatment Rolling eyes whilst I’m glad my treatment has finished the communication throughout and afterwards is shocking ., considering what a shock and mental upheaval this whole experience is .
