Hair regrowth beginning...patchy...anyone??
I'm wondering if anyone has had "patchy" hair regrowth after chemo?? My last TCH was July 22nd...I know I probably need to be patient!
I saw my dermatologist due to a follow up (non related to this), then I asked him about my eyebrow thininng, as they have decided to thin more than ever within the last couple of weeks! He recommended "Minoxidil" for them and that I also could use it on my hair...Rogaine!!
I know I can trust him, however, after reading all about Rogaine, I'm not quite sold on applying it to the few "patches" I'm thinking will fill in.
Has anyone had this with their hair coming in...and did you use anything...
I'm feeling rather vain as it's just hair as MOST importantly, it's the cancer I DO NOT WANT "growing" back!!!
Thanks...
