Well that is not good news either!

My hair is growing though. I can tell because I need to get my bangs cut (what I have left!)

Hang in there!

You can order Surethik microfibre powder to sprinkle on this n parts. I used it after chemo and it's teally great. You can order it n line. It comes in 2 shades of brown, blonde and grey. Looks totally natural. Sprinkle lightly.

Thanks Harpediem. It's not my scalp that I'm worried about. I still have lots of hair it's just thinning out. Although you never know what can happen next on this journey. I'm complaining really, just adjusting!

All the best,

Barb

Yeah my hair was always thin - now its so thin you can see my scalp. Hopefully it will stop soon and start growing back! Hair loss is nasty part of the journey but I still wouldn't trade it for my old body. Thin hair is fine by me -I'll wear a wig LOL

My hair is crazy thin and fine. I have to wear my hair up unless I spend a lot of time curling it due to all the post op hair loss. It will take years for it to recover, I know for sure as my hair also grows exceptionally slow.

I am 8 months out and I don't see it slowing yet. I still don't have any regrets, but it is a big deal for me. I find it makes me look really unhealthy.

awh...I feel bad for you. I have a feeling it must be pretty devastating for people, even though we all have no regrets about surgery. My wish for you is that your hair grows faster than you anticipate!

All the best,

Barb

Barb, I feel your pain. I started loosing lots of hair last week, and i am starting to worry because mine is already thin, this is super anxiety provoking for me. I hope it settles down for you!! Julie
