Hair colouring after chemo

Sookise - which chemo are you having? Hopefully someone will be able to answer your question. X

Hi Sandytoes

I am starting on Gem/Carb

Sookie, the answer to that question is yes sadly. I was on vinorlebine, and while I didnt loose my hair, I was still told that my blood was still full of chemicals and putting anything on my hair could at worse make me very unwell, my hair fall out and not come back, and an allergic reaction. I waited three months and had my bleach and its fine now. My oncologist, hairdresser and also the breast care nurse, all said the same thing. Chemo and colour do not mix due to them both being strong chemicals.
