How long does it take for hair loss to return after chemotherapy?
I had put up the same question in caring.com for expert advice. I am very apprehensive. However, I need more suggestions so that I can atleast try to control my anxiety.
Please advise.
Regards,

Welcome Madison. Hope your treatments go well. I'm sorry but I don't have the answer as to how long it takes for hair to return after chemo.
Hopefully someone can give you the info you're looking for.
Good Luck! -

I have a good friend that went thru chemotherapy a little over a year ago. Once the treatments were over his hair came back within a couple of months.
I'm not sure if that's the norm but it is what happened in his case. -

I've know a couple of women who've gone through it, and once the treatments are over it starts coming back--theirs had a different texture though, but it looked fine. Good luck, we're all in a sense bald in support of you.

I can't answer your question but I do want to wish you well. Try not to worry about the hair loss; it's not important in the overall scheme of things. The only thing that matters is getting well. Take care.

about 8 months and itll be long enough to look really girly again. my niece, at 3, got leukemia and went totally bald.
the balder you get from it, the better its working. thats what they told my sister. -

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Madison ... My sister in law had chemo and her hair came back in a few months, and it came back looking very nice.

Hi Madison
One of my coworkers had chemo and all her hair grew back a few months after the last treatment. My mom went through the same and I remember the same outcome. Best wishes to you and hope everything is ok. I just had a brain aneurysm operation so I know it's a tough road to go down, so hang in there!
