Hair growth

Hi I have seen other people on here talking about hair growing back during chemo. Today I noticed that my hair seems to be growing back, I am only just finished my second round of chemo last week. What I am wondering is if my hair will fall out again when I get my next round? Or will it continue to grow? any information would be great. Thanks sxxx

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    People tend to experience hair loss or hair thinning during chemotherapy. As you have noticed some hair growth, it's possible that you will lose the hair or notice it thinning during your next course of chemotherapy. People can be unique in the side effects they experience with chemotherapy. But hair doesn't usually grow back until chemotherapy has finished.

    I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
