Hair
Hello Justina:
You should speak to your doctor about hair coloring, since this may increase hair lost. I will start my last month of chemotherapy in June and my doctor told me no hair coloring until I finish my chemo and my surgical scar heals. I have not dyed my hair since Sept. 08. I am also glad to have a great supporting family, friends, that has accept my salt and pepper look. I have been very lucky that I did not lose too much hair although; I received 33 radiation treatments and nine months of chemo (first at a low dose and than the last 6 at a higher dose.) Perhaps, all this was due to following my doctor’s instructions or good genes.
Also, speak to the hospital staff nurses,in your area that may have a hair salon that is for cancer patient only.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and God Bless.

Congrats on your wedding!
I have not had radiation, but I take 270mg of Temodar one week a month. My last surgery was February 2009, and I have dyed my hair twice since April. My doctor never told me that I should not dye my hair, and at my appointment last week the neuro-oncology nurse practitioner remarked that my hair looked really cool. If dying my hair was a bad thing they would have told me by now.
Definitely talk to your doctor, but I say go for it! It's your wedding and you should look fabulous.

Hello Justina:

Here is a website I found that maybe of interest to you. I agree with Liz this is your special wedding day. As a professional wedding specialist, I would not let any of my bride's go down the aisle with hair roots showing. However, under the medical circumstances, I would always advise my bride to seek professional medical alternative, which to me is more important.
God Bless
