Hi Jools,
It would be best to not trust anything that hasn't been suggested or recommended by your doctor or medical team as it could be dangerous but do be sure to speak to them about this as they may be able to provide you with something that may help.
Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m -5p.m if you'd like to get their thoughts on this as well.
Kind regards,

I wouldn't mess with them or waste money on things that most likely won't do any good, just eat well and wait, mine returned quicker than I expected - around 2 months maybe, quicker to regrow than hair for some reason.

Thanks Steph
Thanks Sam
My Chemo finished just over 6 weeks ago and while some hair is returning I think that some is still falling out !

It took around 3 months for hair on head to start growing normally so don't be dispirited yet. Give it time....
This cancer lark is, amongst other things, a bl00dy annoying waiting game!

Hi Sam
The hair on my head started to grow back 1 week before my last chemo. It is about 3/4 inches long after 6 weeks. Eyebrows and lashes still falling out a bit I reckon.
It it will be what it will be
