Chemotherapy and hair loss
Chemotherapy treatment, therefore, may cause hair loss all over your body — not just on your scalp. Sometimes your eyelash, eyebrow, armpit, pubic and other body hair also falls out. Some chemotherapy drugs are more likely than others to cause hair loss, and different doses can cause anything from a mere thinning to complete baldness. Talk to your doctor or nurse about the medication you will be taking during your treatment so that you can be fully informed as to what to expect and how to plan for your possible hair loss.
Fortunately, the good news is that most of the time chemotherapy hair loss is temporary. You can expect to re grow your hair three to 10 months after your treatment ends, you could find that your hair may temporarily grow back in a different shade or texture.
