Hair Loss?

2 Replies

I was diagnosed with CLL in April 2024. I began experiencing symptoms in October 2024. I am not getting immunotherapy treatments along with taking Venclextra.

Lately (since probably a few months ago) it has felt like I am constantly shedding. I do have very thick hair (and long), so I guess it's possible that this is just it's normal process, but it seems like I may be losing more than usual.

Has anyone else experienced hair loss with CLL and/or immunotherapy/Venclextra treatments?

It seems to be very common and lots of reasons including stress. I found my shower tray full of hair soon after starting on Ibrutinib, so I changed my hair products to Aveda ( and not a plug ) . You also say your hair is long, so perhaps worth trying a shorter style.
