My hair has gotten so thin

It already falls out because of the chemotherapy I take, but I have been off of that since the end of June. I can only guess it is due to the surgery.

I am just hoping it stops falling out at some point. With the small dose of chemo I take every week, I do have regrowth. With this, it just seems like it is falling out with now recovery!

Is this going on with anyone else, or has it happened to you? Does it come back in at some point?

  • it is very normal around 3 months post surgery and it does stop and grow back from everything I have read. Biotin chewables help according to some folks.

  • 8 months post op and my hair has been recovering for a couple months.

  • My understanding is it starts falling out about 3 months post-op and lasts until about 6 months post-op. Mine is also coming out in handfuls. Luckily I have thick hair so you can't tell, but man if

I have heard of the three months s/p surgery hair falling out but not nine. Is that typical?
