Re: Hair Issues
I also used the Nioxin, both the shampoo and conditioner. I began when I finished the Taxol last Frb. and didn't have much regrowth until this Dec. I completed the Herceptin and Tykerb Nov. 17th. Now, I have much thicker and more coarse hair than before. I have had two trims!
Maybe the Nioxin will "jump start" your hair regrowth as it seemed to do mine. My eyebrows have finially filled in. When they began growing in, they were the wildest things ever. Some grew straight up. Now, they aren't as thick as they used to be, but at least they are growing like eyebrows should.
Good luck, Brenda. Remember everybody had their own timeline. I hope your time for hair is just around the corner!
