Answers:
I can relate!. I am 54 and had a long pony tail for 32 of those!. Unforunately, I had radiation and chemo for eight weeks!. All I lost was the ponytail!. DANG That was finished eight weeks ago, and it has just now grown about a half inch long!.

If five days chemo is all you are getting, you probably won't lose enough hair to sweat about!. It may thin out a lot, but hang in there!. Don't cut it and see what you lose!. I was also on steroids, and what is coming back is darker and thicker!.

Just let it grow, and tell everybody it is the new DO!. Cool!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Boys around here shave their heads all the time!.!.!.I live in Florida it is the kool thing to do in the summer months!.
Your hair will be back by this time next year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dude, if you're that obsessed with your hair, buy a wig ( I'm not trying to be mean, but its just some hair!.!.!. )

p!.s!.if you really want hair and you don't have any money buy a wig off of ebay

Well that all depends on if the cancer goes away!. If the cancer doesn't go then they will keep treating you but don't worry, it will probably take about 6 to 10 weeks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not everyone loses their hair from chemotherapy!. Much will depend on the type of chemo treatment you have, the length of time you have it, and the type of hair you have!. Some chemo causes hair loss because it targets any type of cell within the body that is growing!. The chemo cannot tell the difference between a growing cancer cell and a growing hair cell and attacks both!. If the chemo works for your type of cancer than the hair loss will be a small price to pay!. Your hair will return once you stop chemotherapy !. !. it begins to grow back almost immediately!. It will depend on how fast your hair grows back normally !. !. but usually expect it to grow around the rate of half an inch every month!. In the meantime you can wear caps, hats, scarves, beanies !. !. or go bare headed !. !. it never bothered my son!. He lost his hair two or three times and it always grew back!. The last chemo he had actually didn't cause hair loss !. !.it caused loss of pigmentation and he ended up with white hair!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dont worry, I just finished chemo and my hair is growing back already!. It will come in fast and since you are so young, it will probably come in faster than my hair!. I know you love your hair, I love mine too!. There are really cool guys that shave their hair real short for sports!. My nephew gives himself a crew cut every summer!. Dont worry, you are not alone and I know how you feel!. If you want buy a couple of hats of your favorite baseball team!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The hospital will know where you can get a wig!. Probably at no cost!. Don't know which drug they are going to use, so don't have any idea about it's effects!. Talk to the doctor about how long it will take!. Also, talk to him about School and "Chemo brain"!. Let your teachers know what he says!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hun you have to remember that it is just hair!. It will grow back!. You need to realize that they are killing cancer and that is more important that hair!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
