      Nioxin
      I haven't used it (it's kind of pricey to me who uses Suave LOL) but I've been told that it is great. I think it's addy is www.nioxin.com but if that's not it you can google it.

      I can't help but wonder if having been a hairdresser for 15 years when much younger may have contributed to my Imflamatory BC. But then I've been involved in a lot of other 'things' that may have contributed also. I had radiation to my throat in 1948 after tonsils were tken out at about 18 mths (radiation was definately nasty back then), I lived a while as a small kid near where above ground nuclear tests were done in the early 50's, I lived near or under flight paths of USAF and USN most of my life, I've been an upholstrer and a screen printer - so lots of possibilities or combination of possibilities. I'm the first on either side of my family that has had any form of cancer in 4 generations - so it's anybody's guess.

      Question
      Does this shampoo help the hair to grow back faster? cuzz i bought Biotin in a pill form and was told it will help with that. I haven't started taking it yet - will 3 weeks after my last treatment 10/1/10.

      Love, Kelly

      I can't say that my hair grew in faster, even tho my
      daughter and friends stated so. I just started to take biotin in pill formula - due to my thin lashes and brows .. Also ..please note that I just finished 1 year of herceptin - August 20th ...

      olive oil .. interesting .. zinc in dandruff shampoo's .. I am curious if we can take it orally ? Questions... Questions ...
