Hair Falling out-have been off Herceptin for 8 months
HI everyone,
After Chemo, my hair grew back pretty much the way it was(I had really thick hair) except a bit thinner----but no complaints...
1.) I had hair
2.) A bit thinner for me was still a lot of hair to others
Over the last 3 months my hair has been falling out?
It is really thinning and I can now see my scalp through my hair-
I have no idea what is going on, my diet has not changed at all-infact I have increased my protein (hemp protein powder in my morning shake) as I thought I might not be eating enough-but it keeps falling out??
My last Herceptin treatment was last June 2010 and my Chemo ended June 2009.
Any one else in the same boat here?
Hugs to all--
