    Our hair is pure protein....chemo stops it from growing .... I bought two lovely wigs and lots of scarfs.........time took care of it and it finally came back.   Another thing that affected my hair was the anesthesia I had for the Lumpectomy and the two surgeries for implanting my Port-O-Cath and then taking it out many years later.  Hair does not like anesthesia.   So now I have my hair back...but lots thinner than it was....but also now I realize that it is not important.........all those things I once thought were so important are simply NOT.   Hugs, Glo

    Are you worried about your hair?

    Or just anxious to get it back?
