Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi, Amy – I’m just wondering when your hair started to thin. Being a woman (and a bit vain!), losing my hair is one of my biggest fears during tx. My understanding is that this is not a so-called common side, but it seems a lot more common to me the more I learn. Good luck to you – you’ve made it half way and that’s a lot to be proud of. Are you working? Dorothy From: Hepatitis C [mailto:Hepatitis C ] On Behalf Of Jurydoctor@...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Dear Dorothy, My hair thinned but never completely went. I went for a shorter cuter style and it was easy to maintain. I think it was about 3 months into treatment when I really noticed it. Now it is long and hangs way down on my back. My daughter will not allow me to cut it. She likes my hair long. But honey don't worry you will be just as pretty as you were before treatment. Talk to your hairdresser about what styles are going to work for you. My husband took a course from the American Cancer Society in how to help clients going through treatments. So he was a big help. Oh yeah in case you all didn't know. My husband is a licensed hairstylist as well as a licensed plumber. Isn't that wonderful. I have my own hairstylist in my house, free of charge. I just have to make a appointment with him, because he is well liked for his skills as a hairstylist and plumber.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 haha,, mine is long too, and if I dont pull it back in a pony, it drives me nuts but Im not up to having to wash and blow it dry every day,, so having it long at least lets me pull it back off my face..lolanne <kanga2@...> wrote: Now it is long and hangs way down on my back.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I don't know, she likes to mess with it. She wants to iron it for me with her irons. I like my waves. She tells me that is old fashion. Love Janetanne <kanga2@...> wrote: Now it is long and hangs way down on my back. My daughter will not allow me to cut it. She likes my hair long.
