Cancer Survivours?

[imabrat]

For those who have had cancer,if you don't mind me asking.
How soon did your hair grow back in after you finished chemo completely?


I'm halfway through all may chemo,3 cycles left,and I know my hair will be coming back soon.
But will it take 1 month or 12 months to grow back in?
Or does it depend on the person?


Also,the length I'm hoping to have my hair back is about chin-length.
So I'm not talking massively long,like down to the middle of my back.
You can see a picture on my CaringBridge page,it is the main one.

Wow, I looked at your pictures. You are a beautiful young lady with or without hair! Your face is just gorgeous.

As for your question, when my dad finished his last round of chemotherapy, his hair started to come back right away. Hair grows at a rate of about 6 inches per year (half an inch a month). For some people it is faster, for others it is slower. But I'd say your hair will be back to what you are wanting in less than a year. But as I said, you have such a pretty face that hair or no hair, you look great!

Good luck to you!
