My hair started to grow back after FEC 3 BUT just wondering how long does it take to grow back to a decent length that you could be hatless say for the summer?
It is my longing now for the return of my hair. I dont care what colour, how thick i just want my hair.
Mine has just started too, but just has tax 1 so it may not hang around for long?? Not sure about this though.
Still got leg hair, armpit hair, eyebrows and eyelashes - thinner, but there nonetheless. Why doesn’t it start from your feet and work upwards?
Will be interested to see replies.
Well done for finishing FEC - I found it awful.
We’re all so different. I kept nearly all of my thick mid back length hair on FEC with the help of the cold cap but lost the blinking lot on the second half of my chemo which was Tax - didnt even have a hair up my nose by the time it finished. However my hair came back with a vengence. My last chemo was the end of july and I ditched my wig 6wks later. By my birthday in october I had a thick head of white curls.

good to hear that i may have growth for the summer i have another tax on Wenesday, another in 3 weeks and ive finished chemo just surgery, herceptin and rads so dont suppose that will effect my hair lol. Anyone with hair please keep posting and give me hope ha ha.
HI there, my hair was slower than Josie’s but I am exactly 6 months post chemo (FEC-T) and have an almost proper head of hair, its shorter and much curlier than before - but people think it is a real haircut!
Finished chemo Fec-T nearly 4 weeks ago and hair growing with a vengence and 1cm in places…several different colours??? was brown when it departed but now seem to have brown white and black…maybe I will resemble a skewbald horse or some such!!!
oh tell me more im getting so excited about having hair. lol
My hair started to grow back after FEC 5. I had number 6 on 9th December and stopped wearing wigs in the new year. Its quite thick now and looks like a proper hair cut even if it is rather short. You should definitely be able to go hatless by summer! X
