Mom...

[Curlyboo44]

My mom is a 76 yrs old and has been a hairstylist since she was 24 yrs old. She was diagnosed with lung cancer, (stg 4) in March 2013. She is currently on tarceva 150 and has begun to lose her hair. As u know, this side-effect has been very hard for her. Does anyone have advise as to a shampoo, conditioner, hair treatment that has worked with cancer patients on tarceva?

When I started chemo, the med I was getting didnt cause hair loss, but thinning, o actually got a wig

I know American Cancer society has programs to help pay for wigs, and sometimes insurance will cover if Dr writes a percription, you might want to call them ?// good luck you your. Mom
