Hi, I’ve had 2 rounds of chemo, 3rd due tomorrow. As my hair was coming out in handful’s I had my head shaved on the 18th February and my hair is already growing back, has anyone else experienced this, thank you and best wishes to all 

  • Hi  

    I can't remember exactly when but my hair started growing back while I was still on chemo. My CNS said it was quite common and that chemo causes the hair to snap and that is why it falls out. My hair seems coarser and thicker than pre- cancer so I'm choosing to keep it short. Best wishes for your treatment.
