Hi, I had 4 rounds of chemotherapy which I finished 5 weeks ago. My hair is now thinning at an alarming rate and I am confused as to why I am losing it now and not earlier in my treatment. Is this normal and has anyone else experienced this.

Hello and thanks for posting,
Hair loss/thinning can vary from person to person, and also when it happens. It is common after several chemotherapy treatment cycles to start to experience hair thinning and hair loss.
We do have a section on our website with tips for coping with hair thinning and hair loss which may be of interest.
I hope that this helps,
Best wishes,
Vanda
Thank you that does help as I didn't know hair thinning/loss could still happen after completion of chemotherapy. I was concerned it might be something else.
