Hi all,
I feel like the only one who’s hair is still not back one year after treatment ended…I finished my chemo in August 2010 and although I have some hair it is so sparse from a distance I still look bald. After all this time I can’t see that I will ever be able to go wigless again…the BCN and oncologist have been no help, all they say is oh it will come back but after a year??? I don’t think so!! I see people who have been diagnosed a monthes after me and they all have a head of hair!!
So although I am obviously in the minority and I don’t want to scare or upset anyone…but it is not always true that “it’ll grow back again”
Any help or suggestions or anyone else out there the same???

Tl that’s really really awful for you I don’t know anything about this but just wanted to say I feel for you, we all look forward to our hair growing again. xxx
Also, I wish you the “hairy fairy”
Hi there! I finished chemo end of April and the hairy fairy hasn’t visited. Oncologist/docs etc just say it will grow, be patient but it is hard when people at the same stage of post treatment time have lovely elfin hairstyles. I hate wearing a wig and the bandana look is boring now. I have hair envy at the moment and I find myself staring at people and assessing ther hairstyles/amount of hair etc. Like you I’m beginning to wonder if I will be part of the statistics whose hair doesn’t grow back. Plenty of hair growing where I don’t need it!!
Oh god no! The hairy fairy needs a right kick up the wotsit!
Sorry if I’m trivialising, it must be totally devastating to not see anything coming back and theres me moaning cos I want mine all back now, at least I’m showing something coming through.
You poor women I really hope it does kick start soon for both of you xxx
Hello
another one here with very sparse hair (especially on top where I’m almost bald) and I finished chemo in February so that’s 7 months now… BCN and Onc not really interested (in the grand scheme of things I can understand it) and I have now started using Revita by DS Laboratories in the hope of seeing some change! I hate my wig now, it’s so blxxdy hot especially when having hot flushes, I want to go back to my nice thick hair that I had before this nightmare began. My eyebrows have not grown back either, but my eye lashes are now quite long. I blame it on the Tax!
