A member asked:
How long after you get your last chemo will your hair return?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few months: Hair can take a few months to fully return after chemo. Two to four months to look like a decent amount of hair, sometimes longer. It takes longer than if someone not taking chemo just shaved their head. Less hair means a cooler head in the summertime! hang in there and good luck.
