hello! 

i'm over a year past my transplant, and around 5 months ago my new hair began to fall out once again. it is now down to just below my ear, but is very thin and fine, and continues to fall out daily. does anybody have a clue as to what is causing this? as i'm finding it very upsetting to see.

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Lilly although I'm sorry for the reason you're posting.

    Your doctor or the team who looked after you during your transplant would be the best people to speak to about this but you're welcome to have a chat with our cancer nurses as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to find out what's causing this soon Lilly.

    Kind regards,
