Hi

I am new to this forum so just a bit of info.  8 years ago i was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy which all went well and i was fine until recently.  I have now been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel and liver cancer and on the above drugs.  I know in the whole scheme of things it really does not matter but i was told i would not loose my hair this time and it is falling out like mad!  Its not the same as with the breast cancer chemo but wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same and if any one has any magic potions to stop it!!

  • Hi Clare4141,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about what's brought you here - I hope you're getting on OK.

    While I'm not able to offer much advice on your question, my reply here will boost your post so more people will see it and if anyone has similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    You can also try searching (using the button in the blue bar above) the forum for any potential relevant discussions.

    There is also some general advice and information about hair loss and thinning on our website here.

    Wishing you all the best,
