I had a break of just under three weeks after my operation and although I had only a small amount of regrowth I did completely lose that following 5 and 6. It did finally regrow; very curly!
Well I'm hanging on to my very little growth at the mo!
When is your debulking surgery due?
Also share your opinion with " living with this chronic disease, my oncologist said to treat it like that also , comparing it to diabetes and heart disease, it's somehow easier to cope with worded like that don't you think ?
Hi Jackie, my hair had started growing when I had a break from chemo for my debulking surgery, it was about a 9 week break in total and I was feeling really proud with my little bit of growth, unfortunately about 8 days after my 5 th chemo it all fell out again π. I am now 6 weeks since chemo finished and it's started growing again π, I'm hopeful by the spring I will be wigless!
Hi jackie, I lost a little more hair when chemo started again. I also lost my eyelashes and brows again but they came back quickly xx
I am glad your surgery went well, if you are finishing the same chemo then your hair may fall out again but once done it will grow back curley and strong.
Mine did the same, after a few weeks it started to grow a little but once again going through another cycle, I lost it again. We are all different but yours may grow a bit again or you may lose a little more on your next chemo. After my 6th one however, I saw hair returning pretty quickly.
I can recommend some great stuff to help it grow and strengthen it!
It was actually a mane growing formula I was looking for for horses, but humans and other pets can use it too!
It worked brilliantly in my hair and my horse too!
You just leave it in like a leave in conditioner or, you can leave a few minutes then wash out.
