Hair Growth Show Starting 6 Weeks After Chemo

In June of 2006 I, at age 40, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. What followed was a series of surgeries, and finally Chemo. In August of 2006, I had my last treatment. The wait began, when would I grow hair? I surfed the web, and could not find much on the subject. So, now it is my wish to show just how much hair you grow after chemo. This photo log follows my growth from Oct. 13, 2006....no hair, to Dec. 30, 3006....

To soulwinnersim.......

Please consider changing your outlook for your wife's sake. Her beauty certainly goes deeper than her outward appearance?? I fear she will pick up on your criticism and have yet another thing to worry about. Your focus should be on the health that chemo will bring her, and not the temporary hair loss she will experience. Assure her she is beautiful bald or not. She needs your support right now, not your judgement. Please do not put her through that. she deserves that.

I have some requests for an update, and who sings the songs on my vid....the second question I will post soon, sry can't recall it right now. I am doing well. Had a recent 4.5 year check up and all was great! All of the beautiful emails and comments I get make me smile everyday......Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I wish great health to every single one of you....

You have a really great head shape, so bald did not look bad on you...you look pretty great either way.

Your vid helped me thru one of the darkest periods of my life. I had undergone 4 months of chemotherapy & was about to undergo radiation. My hair, eyebrows & lashes were gone. Your video gave me a time frame for the stages of expected regrowth. It gave me the ability to face the weeks & months ahead with knowledge & courage. I hope you are now in the best of health. Thank You.

I love it! So happy your doing well, that is Super!!! Take Care!

Awesome! Yes you are beautiful as someone above said. I just finished my last round of 6 chemo treatments 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had a treatment every 3 weeks for breast cancer (ILC) as well. I had surgery half way through chemo and will start radiation this week or next. CONT.....
