Hairy Chest Hey,

I finished chemo on 17th May so my hairs coming back rightly now, but on my breast where I had the lumpectomy, I am covered in millions of hairs.

Has anyone else had this? They’re quite fine, but they are thickening everyday!

Thanks
Moira

Hi Moira

I didnt have that particular problem but I found that after chemo when my hair was growing back I also grew loads on my face and looked like the honey monster for a while (it’s only temporary though).

I also found that leg hair, etc grew back initially very aggressively but then settled down eventually to normality. It’s likely that what you’re experiencing is a similar temporary effect. Why not have a word with your breast care nurse to put your mind at rest.

Best wishes,
Janice.

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one My Chemo ended on 25/04/06 so my hair is now looking quite thick…HOWEVER…I try not to stand with daylight behind me as I have noticed downy hair growing on my neck and face. Nice!

I really hope that this is temporary as you found, I know that in the grand scheme of things this should not worry me, but you do start to wonder what else is going to happen!!!
