Dear kc8e2209

Welcome to the forum and hope you are keeping well.

Hair can grow back from Tarceva, it may grow softer, curlier or sometimes a different colour. This link is from cancer research UK on this: cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

Everyone is different in their hair loss and duration of hair growth, hope it grows back soon for you.

If you wish to discuss anything our Freephone nurse led helpline number is 0800 358 7200

All the best
