Patti lost her hair due to chemotherapy after breast cancer. Here
she discusses her thoughts and shows her pictures.
How did you
lose your hair?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and lost 95% of my hair due
to the side effects of Chemotherapy.
How soon did
you catch the Cancer?
I discovered my cancer in the nick of time. It was invasive and
fast growing, however it had not yet traveled to my lymph nodes,
so it was still contained. The tumor and good surrounding tissue
were removed along with 3 lymph nodes. Chemo and radiation were
highly recommended to treat any possible stray cancer cells.
Have
you considered hair growth stimulants?
Prior to joining HairlossTalk I had not considered any hair growth
stimulants, but now I am certainly interested in doing so as soon
as the Chemotherapy drugs run their course.
What
kind of research have you done?
I am hoping to gather information on what products might be suitable
for female hair loss, both prescription and natural, to enhance
or speed up regrowth. It would be nice to speak with others who
have experienced Chemotherapy hair loss to see what we can learn
from one another on gaining optimum results for regrowth.
