Cancer Hair Loss as a result of Cancer Treatment

Fri, 2010-06-18 19:55 — Anonymous

Cancer treatments and drugs can either cause mild thinning of your hair, partial hair loss, or hair loss in patches or complete hair loss (Alopecia) Unfortunately you won’t be able to tell beforehand how badly you will be affected as some drugs are more likely to cause hair loss than others and everyone reacts differently.

Cancer Hair Support can quickly restore your natural look with customised Cancer wigs made especially for you. You can continue to wear the wig while your hair is growing back. Call us on 0800 978 8046.

Our advice can help deal with Cancer Hair Loss

When you begin treatment it is best to firstly ask your doctor or nurse if your treatment is likely to result in hair loss. If they do, ask about what your options are to either prevent or slow it down. In most cases prevention is not an option but there may be things you can do to slow it down or reduce it. If you find the thought of losing your hair very upsetting, your doctor may be able to suggest a treatment that is less likely to cause hair loss and in some cases there is a choice of drugs you can have. Ultimately your doctor will want to give you the treatment that is most likely to work best in treating you, it is certainly worth discussing your options, Cancer Wigs, Hair Nets and Cold Caps are examples.

Sophia's story - Why Cancer Hair Support helped me

Wed, 2010-06-16 22:16 — Anonymous

My name is Sophia Loizia, “In May 2008, when I was 16 years old, I was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. When I found out I had cancer, the first thing that came into my mind was the thought of losing my hair. As with all young girls, my hair meant so much to me – it was an important part of my identity and the thought of losing it really upset me.

My hair started to fall out just 10 days into my chemotherapy treatment. I remember I started to lose my hair on a Tuesday; by Friday I had it cut into a short bob, but this did not help the fact that I had to go through the difficult process of watching my hair falling out. So, by the Sunday, I had made a brave decision to shave it all off and wear a cancer wig.
 

Cancer Hair Regrowth once your hair begins to grow

Fortunately, many people will have a full head of hair again within several months from the final course of Cancer treatment or any drug treatment. When your hair begins to grow back after treatment, it might be a different texture or quality than your original hair. It is likely to be finer, softer and may be more curly than before. There is a possibility that your hair will grow back a different colour. We provide natural and synthetic hair wigs for cancer patients for all stages of post treatment to help with chemotherapy hair regrowth.
