Hair Loss due to Chemotherapy what happens?

Chemotherapy drugs attack rapidly growing cancer cells they also attack other cells in your body, including those in your hair roots.

Chemotherapy may cause hair loss on your head and even all over your body.

Your doctor or nurse can tell you what to expect and you can ask questions about the type of Chemotherapy medication you will be receiving.

Normally hair loss due to chemotherapy is temporary, hair usually regrows 3/6 months after you have finished your treatment. Differences in colour and or texture are normal at the start of regrowth.

What happens next?

Your hair can begin to fall out two to four weeks after you start treatment.
