Hello, I too will be in your position soon, seeing oncologist wed to find start date. I have already booked to get my wig sorted on thurs as I want to be prepared....also been cutting my hair shorter and shorter in prep.....were you offered the cold cap? 

From what I have been reading it seems to hit a few days after? But I suppose we all react differently. I will keep on eye on this thread and I wish you all the best and good stuff in the world.....xxxxx

Keep us posted.......we can do this....xxx

Hi, my hair came out on the third week after having my first chemo, I wore a sleep hat at night and my wig during day so didn’t see it falling out during the day. I gently washed my hair only once a week and used a cool setting on hair drier. My hair is now coming back in, it’s like baby hair and have curls. No idea what to do with it atm as I’m still wearing my wig. It also came in pure white lol, I’ve just used a natural dye which is same colour of my wig. 

Good luck with your treatment x

Hello scones, have you finished chemo now? How long did it take to see your hair growing back? My natural colour is grey now but I colour it, hoping I can do this after chemo? 

Hope your doing well xxxx

Yes, we can do this... xxx

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm only 3 days after my first chemo, but am already noticing a difference in the texture of my hair. My head is itchy and my hair is a bit limp.

Am looking forward to my chemo curls though. Always wanted curly hair.

Its strange just waiting...!!

Keep fighting everyone..!! Xxx

Hi, I finished my chemo in November so I guess it’s 10 weeks now. My hair came in white as snow and showed thru bits of my wig so I bought a natural dye,it was quite expensive at around £10 and I only used a small amount as I didn’t have much hair but it was worth it. Matches my wig perfectly, not brave enuf to go into my hairdressers for a very small trim as I don’t use harsh brushes or tongs (not that I cud use them on what I’ve got lol) 

i was doing really well till my second follow up appointment when doc found another lump on my neck. I have to go for my biopsy next week, I just can’t believe it would come back so soon after excellent scans in December. Doc said that as well but was going to bring it up at the multi disciplinary meeting she had the following day. Fingers crossed.

 I wish you well in your treatment, take care x

I also wish you well my love.....hope it's all ok xxxxx

Sending you hugs and positive thoughts...!! 

Keeping everything crossed for you...xxxxx
