A member asked:
Is it true that chemotherapy has a lasting impact on your hair quality?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemotherapy & Hair: Depending on the drug, of course, cancer chemotherapy often has a long lasting effect on hair. The texture can change and sometimes even the color changes. This does not occur in all patients and there is often no way of predicting if or how changes in hair will result from cancer chemotherapy.
