NED means No Evidence of Disease. They use this for Stage 4 because the thought is you can’t be cured. Yes, my hair grew back. Actually, prior to chemo, my hair was straight and fine. After chemo, it came back thick and curly!! I loved it! The bad news for me is that my normal blah hair came back two years later. I was really hoping to have my chemo hair forever.

I also have straight fine hair and would love to have some curls in it😄😄. When you say chemo, do you mean the tamoxifen, or did you also have something else?

@kblioce for those of us reading this, can you clarify whether you took tamoxifen or did chemo or both? Generally tamoxifen doesn't cause hair loss like that and it is usually taken for 5 years.
