Has anyone had hair start to grow 9 weeks or more after TC was completed? I am worried I might be one of the unlucky ones with permanent hair loss. Thanks.

    My hair didn't start to grow until 8 weeks PFC. I've read that (sometimes) the first hairs grow without pigment. That happened to me and that makes the hair very hard to see. And I was afraid that it would all grow back white (I'm 56 years old). But then it started to grow in my normal color (black) with some scattered white hairs, which is how my hair was pre-chemo.

    So perhaps your hair is growing but just don't look like it's growing (yet)?

    I take photos of my hair every 4 weeks. Although it's sloooow growing, it's actually growing faster than I think it is. Good luck!
