Hair started growing back after 2nd fec

Hi
I have noticed a fine fluff of hair growing back all over my head already. Only had 2 fec got my 3rd on Friday then 3 tax. Does it mean chemo isn’t working? I thought everything stopped growing with chemo

Hi Jules 1064

You might find it helpful to read the BCC publication on chemotherapy, It explains what chemotherapy is, how it works, and the benefits that may be gained from it. If you would like to order a copy or read this on line just follow the link below:-

What stage did you lose your hair

I dont think it means chemotherapy is not working, it is just that you are responding differently to others.  The good thing is that your hair seems to be growing so not long before you can ditch the wig!!!
