My head got sore when my heair came out

[Guest guest]

I had my 1st chemo treatment on Dec. 21st '06 and the 2nd week after

the treatment my hair started to fall out which was no surprise, I

would told to expect that. My question is, did anyone else experience

soreness? My head became very sore.

Yes....my head was sore while my hair was falling out. It felt like my hair had

been pulled too tight all day long. Once the majority of my hair fell out, it

didn't feel that way anymore.

Hazel - yes it did feel a little sore and also it felt a

little " creepy crawly " - like I could feel the hair dying. That was

my clue to get the buzz cut.

Now.........7 months after my last chemo - I had to go last week and

get a haircut!!!!! My hair started to grow back around September

with a massive amount of thick curls. I always had very straight

hair - so this is .......different. It's about 3 inches and I was

looking a little like Will Farrell - so got a trim/shape cut last

week - felt strange to be cutting it but it looks much better now -

less like " grow out from chemo patient " and more like " brave short

haircut girl " .

Hang in there and Hugs!

Thanks , I thought I was alone, My hunni shaved my head for me on

Friday I look kinda funny but my head is no longer sore.

Thank you Ellen, my mother had breast cancer in 2000 and her head never

got sore and when her hair begin to grow back the texture of it was

very different. Before my hair started to come out it was thinning in

the top even before chemo so I keep telling my family maybe my hair

will forget it was thinning and come back much thicker -- hahahah -- A

girl can hope -- right?

I hope its okay to jump in here about hair..... I'm 5 months out from my last

chemo. I have heard so often about hair coming back curly even when someone had

straight hair before. Mine is coming back curly... in the back, but its still

straight on the top. I find that really strange, but then.....

I am 8 days out from my first chemo, so far my hair is still there but

my head does itch more. I am thinking about this time next week I'll

have my friends take it down really short...like a crew cut. It is

looking thinner to me but that could be my imagination...like

Hazel...I thought mine looked like it was starting to thin BEFORE

chemo anyways.

I've been told by my doctors that when my hair starts growing back in that there

is a high probability that it will be thicker and curlier than before. It might

even come back a completely different color!!!! Soooo...you may end up with

more hair than what you started with!!!!

I'm only two months out from chemo...but my once dark very curly

hair is now light and straight! I'm hoping in time the curls will

come back!
