How Soon After Last Chemo Can I Start Taking Hair Vitamins
Hello,
How soon after chemo ends can we start taking vitamins to encourage hair regrowth? I just had my last round of Taxol 3 days ago and want to start taking vitamins and also use Latisse for my eyelashes and eyebrows. Would love to know if anyone has had success using these and how long after treatment did you have to wait?
I began vitamins as soon as my stomach could tolerate. I did not use Latisse. I will tell you though, as soon as you see your brows and lashes begin to surface, they will come back full quickly. I have long, thick, lashes naturally and they are even fuller now. I understand your desire to get them back. For me, losing my hair, lashes, and brows was worse than losing breasts.
I started right away. 3 months later I have 1 1/2 in of very thick hair. My eyebrows and eyelashes fell out 2 weeks after my last chemo treatment, and have also now grown back.
I think I started 3 weeks after my last treatment, check with your Dr. Sometimes they don't want you to have to process excess "stuff" through your liver...Agreed on the eyebrows and eyelashes coming back quickly once they appear. I didn't lose every eyebrow or eyelash, however I hadn't realized how many I had lost until they started coming back, I think my eyelashes are fuller now(still are not 100% grown back in length) than they were before chemo too!
I used a product called Monat. Its an all natural shampoo line and it works Amazing. ..
i am 6 months post chemo/radiation and my one eye brow is completely back the other one is a struggle. Hair is growing fast without anything however it is super curly. Love that i dont need a perm but it is great with the gel and go look.
