Hair Growth

Chelee, I finished up chemo on Dec 12, 2006. I had only peach fuzz and experienced the same impatience that you are feeling around Feb/Mar timeframe. It seems very slow at first but then before you know it, there it comes. I had my first trim in the back of my head in Jun. Today my hair is almost totally back to normal. I had a regular hair cut two weeks ago. I still have a little more wave in my hair than I used to but my hairdresser said that will all be gone in my next cut.

Patience and it will come. Take care Kool
