Wow, you’ve still got a lot of your hair. Hopefully the crown will fill in quite quickly. My last chemo was 14 Feb. I cold capped for four of the six, then gave up as it was too sore but hopefully it has helped with regrowth. I’m not sure why it is so dark, but at least it’s not grey and curly - so far!!!
Have you tried putting anything on it? I bought some rosemary oil that I use occasionally and the shampoo I have is rosemary and mint - not sure if it makes any difference, or not… xx
Thanks @arty1. You look lovely by the way!
I have some magnesium oil because I suffer from restless legs - has been terrible - but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to use it or not - must ask. I’m currently taking the pill in the morning but it makes me feel sleepy all day and I don’t sleep any better at night. I’ve also started getting more pains in my shoulder and arm and fingers on my surgery side since being on it but I’m seeing a physio next week. xx
Yes if i wear wooly hat i can get away with no wig and have a wee bit hair out the sides, i think im using everything 
rosemary oil, caster oil and a hair growth shampoo trying everything but my other body hair hasnt started growing yet so im assuming once that all starts growing it will maybe grow faster xx
When was your last chemo? I’m starting to get some body hair (legs and arms are still fairly bare) but happily (NOT), I have noticed some hairs appearing on my chin in the last week! Seriously!!! xx
My last one was the 14th march, i shaved my legs half way through treatment cause they were so long and not falling out so were hurting me but i still have no nose hair and yes leg hair doesn’t seem to be growing back either ! Think it always comes back quicker to places we dont wamt it too xx
@flojo - I’ve been using a magnesium balm, check with your team if it’s ok but my oncologist said it was fine with herceptin x
@shannon27 - my hair just suddenly started growing then came back almost overnight ! I’m back to shaving legs and waxing my tash 
My hair has grown in the last couple of weeks, I think. I saw somewhere that it’s slow for the first three months, then gets a growth spurt…
Aw wow i will wait and see how long it takes to return i will be 6 weeks out from chemo on friday 
! Xx
You look fabulous 
that’s a lovely picture of you & you look healthy & happy.
I am so glad that I made it over here to Florida to see my daughter compete in worlds.
I’ve just found those little things difficult but I’m still thankful for all my treatment & that I am still here to make these memories!
I don’t like coming on here & being negative but sometimes I just need to have a moan to the people who I know understand what I am feeling the most!
I’ve been so grateful for this forum & everyone who’s part of it, it’s been very comforting through my treatment to have all of you who know exactly how I am feeling
Hello everyone. Update on me is my hair is coming back fairly quickly now and def started growing back before I’d finished chemo - which some around me questioned, like I was some sort of fraud and I needed to explain why to them! People are so weird (actually it was mostly my 2 sisters…).
I am sitting in bed on day 5 post double mastectomy with temporary expanders. Can any of you give me some wisdom on what to expect? It’s like chemo all over again in terms of wanting to know what’s normal and what’s not! At present the pain/discomfort is manageable with pain relief, but I get a sharp intolerable pain if I move in my left breast that catches my breath. It’s also very painful to touch that area - which perversely I keep doing to check it still hurts! I still have drains in and have a dressings appointment for Thursday.
What I will say is that psychologically I feel unexpectedly relieved that it’s done and I am out the other side of something so dreaded and feared, that came with so many difficult decisions!
Any advise or just tales of wisdom welcome!
Rosie
