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?
