2 months post chemotherapy & radiation and still losing hair

Hi everyone, 

I'm a 22 year old student and I got diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma in October 2020, I finished 8 rounds of ABVD on February 3rd and then did 20 sessions of radiotherapy which I finished almost 4 weeks ago. Throughout chemotherapy I wore a cooling cap and managed to keep all of my hair which I am so very lucky and grateful for every day. But for the last 5 weeks my hair has been shedding an awful lot and it's gotten progressively worse the last 3 weeks and I am almost 3 months done chemotherapy so I'm not sure why my hair is still falling out and neither do my doctors know why.. Could anybody help me here I haven't had anyone to talk to about this matter so would appreciate whatever advice anybody has?? 
 

Lots of love and good energy to all <3 xx

  • Hi Jordan and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Well done for getting through all your treatment although I'm sorry about the hair loss you're experiencing 3 months on.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experience of this will get back to you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses then do give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I really hope this starts to improve for you soon Jordan.

    Kind regards,
