Could anyone advise on hairloss/ return?

I have just had my 5th of 6th , 3 weekly carbo/ taxol after a break of 4 weeks post debulking.. my hair has now grown ! πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸ€—.. but now I'm back on the chemo do you think I will lose it all again ? Does anyone have experience with this ?

Thanks in advance my lovely ladies 😁

Much love Jackie 😘 xx

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!

That's a lovely photo Jackie.

My sons hair fell out 3 times each time he started chemo.

Mines growing 3 weeks post chemo and I'm also wondering if mine will fall out again when I start chemo after my debulking surgery!

Hiya Jess!

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 ?

Keep in touch Jess.

Much love ❀️ Jackie xx

You look really great Jackie. All my hair fell out during the six chemo's. Its growing faster at the top and slower at the sides and back.

Best wishes

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 😟. I am now 6 weeks since chemo finished and it's started growing again πŸ˜€, I'm hopeful by the spring I will be wigless!

Good luck 😘

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.

Hi Jackie,

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.
