Hi Karen
I had a complete hysterectomy including overies removed 5 years ago. That certainly could account for the thinning of my hair prior to BC. And now, maybe, my hair is just going back to what it was pre chemo. If it stops thinning at point I guess I can't complain. But I sure loved the thick, manageable hair I had for about the past 5 months! And it is interesting that all of those little hair folicules have existed but just not produced all of these years. I sure never had that thick of hair that I can ever remember.
