8 days agoJune 26, 2026 was my last chemo session this last one was a bit much change one of the medicine did the sessions well little nausea but no vomiting I stayed hydrated lost a little weight but I'm still thick 😆. But the following week had go to the ER and was admitted for day 1/2 hemoglobin levels very low and potassium dangerously low got blood transfusion. Got CT scan and chest x-ray they both came back clear praise the lord for that. Looking forward for my hair growing back so far things are good I give God all the praises with this journey.
Accepted Answer
Hair typically starts to regrow within 3-6 weeks after chemotherapy ends, though it may initially come back with a different texture or color before returning to normal over several months. It sounds like you've shown incredible strength through your treatment journey, and celebrating these milestones of recovery - including watching your hair return - can be such an encouraging part of moving forward.

7 days agoI just finished my last chemo July 1. Extremely tired for several days and more joint aches but glad it's over. Also can't wait for hair to come back and eye brows and eye lashes. We are so lucky that cancer treatment has improved so much. I am grateful for all the prayers and support I have received.
