Hair Regrowth?

Hi Sbird

I did scalp cooling but also lost some hair. 

Hair loss continued for a few weeks post chemo but I also started to get some regrowth during this time. 

If your last chemo is 30/4 and its a 3 week cycle- then hopefully by July (2 months post final chemo) you should see the start of some regrowth but it may well be quite fluffy, soft texture. 

I also lost my eye lashes and eye brows thinned again post chemo but they came back fairly quickly. 

Perhaps have a look for a pretty scarf or hat so you are prepared.

Hi SBird

I completed my 6th and final paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy at the end of May 2022.  I lost all my hair after the second round of chemo.  My eyebrows and eyelashes came back just a few weeks after finishing treatment but it was August before I started having any regrowth on my head.  The hair was very fine-like baby hair.  Each week it got a bit thicker but not much longer- it was November before it just looked like I had a normal but very short hairstyle.  New hair then became very, very curly and a bit greyer which lasted about 12 months before it started to revert back to my usual straight, fairly dark brown hair.  I hope this may help you in planning your outfit for your daughter’s wedding.  I hope that rest of your treatment goes well and you all have a lovely day on 19th July. xx

Thanks ladies

I think I'll start looking for a nice head covering.

Thanks from me as well, as you have answered a question that I have on my list
