While I Was In The Hospital For My SCT The Nurses Suggested I Share My Head. Since It Was Driving Me Crazy Seeing All The Hair On My Pillow

My question is did anyone else do this because of the chemo, and how long does it take your hair to start growing out? That’s shave not share.

I shaved my head. Hair grew back slowly but it was beautiful like a brand new baby.

Thank you Willy. I guess I’m just impatient to see what’s going to come in.

I had my chemo in June to help the kids understand what I was going to be doing they helped buzz my head down to pretty much nothing before I went into the hospital. Between that and the chemo I was bald as a cue ball for about 3 months, it's early December now and I've got about an inch worth of hair I have had it trimmed up since I got out of the hospital because it was coming in uneven and scraggly looking.
