PostHeaderIcon Hair loss after 1 week of chemo?


I had chemotherapy a week ago and I’ve already lost 1 clump of hair on my head and a few nose hairs. It’s probably not unheard of, but I’m wondering if anyone else either has or knows someone who has had the same kind of quick hair loss from chemo?

I’m sorry you have to go though chemo. My sister went through the same thing and ended up losing her hair. The good news is it will come back when done.

    Colon cleansing is the modern technique to reduce weight. Boffins have highlighted the point that not all additional weight is thanks to surplus fat, a lot of weight just rests there in your pipes, and all you have to do is rinse it out. http://vinent.freehealthlive.info has a risk free trial on at the moment, give it a go, you can reduce as much as 20 lbs!

    As chemo effects everyone different, hair loss and other side effects occurring after one week are not uncommon.

    Yes, my little sister began losing hair very soon after her chemo treatments began. Now she is almost 2 years into her treatment and it comes and goes, but she has been in remission since day 8 of treatment! Hopefully you will be too! Bless you.

    I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I supported my sister for chemo and radiation. She lost her hair very fast. I am sure it was within the week. Keep postive–it makes all the difference in the world.

    It’s not uncommon. Some have lost all their hair by the 2nd week.

    chemotherapy is far more efficient at killing fast growing cells, consequently your hair is a prime target, its the the fastest growing cells in the human body, so don’t be concerned.
