Hi all. I'm new to this site. Iv got hodgkins lymphoma and currently on my second lot of chemo. My hair will be coming out or at least thinning but hasn't done yet. Is their anyone who' hair didn' fall out on abvd please many thanks.
Welcome to the forum and I am so sorry about your diagnosis.
I don't know if this will help. My daughter in law received chem for bowel cancer a few years ago. It was coming up to her wedding. The nursing team arranged for a cold cap treatment to reduce the chemo flow to her hair follicles. It was rather unpleasant but she did not lose any hair.
My youngest cousin has just received the all-clear from Hodgkins Lymphoma. Her hair did fall out but I think it took a while. We aren't particularly in contact so I don't know much but she is well again and her hair is starting to come back in.
Sorry about your diagnosis, just be encouraged that others have got through it.
I start my chemo for Hodgkins this week and I’m also seeking an answer to the same question to help me decide if I should cut it off beforehand or not.... did your hair fall out with treatment? Hope your well x
