Re: How long do you think I have??

On Dr. Oz yesterday, their expert on hair said that for thinning problems, many times it is caused by a lack of enough protein in the diet and a vitamin defficiency which Biotin supplements help. Now there is no way either of these will reverse the chemo fall out, but when those poisons are over, perhaps these two methods will help improve the quality of the re-growth.

I'll note that in my case, the chemo worked very quickly to debald my otherwise healthy head of hair and thick mustache. When my hair did finally come back in it was much less dense on top of my noggin as well as upper lip. I think I'll try some Biotin and eat more fish and poultry to see if that will improve the quality of the hair I can grow now. HTH someone--bird
