Amy Robach's Hair

I am actually wondering if she is wearing a wiglet. I am 8 months post treatment and my hair is so thin in the front that I am wearing one and you would never know. I had my natural hair coloured and had it styled to match it perfectly. 

kicks - Amy Robach is an anchor on Good Morning America, the ABC morning program.  She did an on-air mammogram since she was at the age of recommended first screening and was surprised to learn that she had breast cancer.

 I too am surprised that she did CMF, as I believe she was node positive, but I am sure she received adequate medical advice and this course of action was carefully considered.  CMF does not cause the degree of hair loss of several other chemo regimens.  Here is some info about CMF and hair loss from an Australian site:

"CMF usually causes some hair loss, but this tends to be a gradual thinning with successive cycles of treatment. With oral CMF it may be complete (though always reversible). With intravenous CMF, only about 20% of patients will require a wig."

The most important thing we need to remember when commenting on AR's treatments, appearance etc. is that we simply don't know all the details. A certain amount of info has been released but I feel sure that there is plenty that hasn't. The best we can do is speculate at this point. This is probably true of any celebrity ailment.

I'm wondering if she used Penguin cold caps.  I read a recent article saying they're becoming more accepted by oncs in the US and could be more commonly utilized here in the near future.   It seems logical to me that she would have access to something like that.    Deanna

Ahhh, so there you go. CMF - mystery of limited hair loss solved.
