Any advice for faster hair growth after chemo?
I finished six cycles of chemo for ovarian cancer at the end of May. My hair started growing before end of treatment but it is all white. I am 67. Is this normal? Also, I welcome any ideas on natural ways to help the hair grow faster.

Yeah (I'm chuckling). Hair is what the Buddhists call "ignorance grass". I was thinking about toppers, but my hair is sooo fine I don't know how the topper would clip on. But, thank you for your suggestion. BTW, do you not have clear cell endometrial cancer?
@cookercooker Me too! I looks like I have no eyelashes and the brows are almost invisible they are so sparse.
What are you doing about, if anything? I can't wear false eyelashes or makeup because I've also deveoped dry eye and blepharitis:(
@cookercooker I have mixed clear cell/ serous uterine cancer. It was stage 3a HER2+. I'm 2 years post diagnosis. I'm doing great. I've. Decided I'm cured. I'm still getting herceptin as a maintenance and I will keeping getting it as long as I'm cancer free. But I am just going to think this is all I'my past.

1 Reaction@cookercooker I'm receiving herceptin. Hair loss isn't an issue with this drug. Enhertu more potent. Hair loss is a side effect.
That is fantastic news. Thanks for sharing Denise.
