not fast enough
I had my last chemo in May and I had some growth even before the chemo ended...it was stubble, but it was still growth. Now in October, I have quite a bit of hair, kind of like a boy's haircut. I don't think it is growing in fast enough, but that's probably because I'm not very patient. It didn't come in curly at all and it is definitely darker than before. I keep looking for gray.0 -
Hair growthpitt said:Great transition idea
I'm glad you are okay with the transition and were able to include your daughters in the event. I hope you will continue to keep looking forward! Good luck! Pitt
Mine fell out late March when I was on A/C but then started to grow back in in the middle of June when I was on Taxol. Right now my hair is 2 inches long.
Some people's hair doesn't grow back until they have been off chemo for a month or so where others grow back when they are on it--I think it depends on what type of cocktail you are on.

Interesting facts about re-growth. My theory based on onc and staff is that my hair will be growing like a weed days after my last TCH treatment (end of December 2009) ..
Very interesting ....
Thank you all so much for sharing ..

i did the same
i had 6 rounds of chemo and my hair started falling out 2 weeks after the first treatment. i was getting ready to go to the dr again that night i got my daughter to do the same for me. it upset her something terrible guess because she knew it was bothering me. she stopped went into her room crying her dad had to finish it whether he wanted to or not i had only one side and the other was chopped told them hey someones gotta do this i cant walk around like this.. lol.. tried to be strong but i kept falling apart. but i made it and it didnt bother me nomore.. im got done with chemo on oct 1 2009 and my hair started to grow about 3 weeks. so hang in there and get through it im hoping it was true what i been told that it would be new and different than before..
take care and it will be better than before!!!0
