Hello, I have completed round 2 of chemo. I am having CMF, my dr told me I wouldn’t lose my hair but it is coming out in clumps. Has anyone been through CMF and could talk to me about the hair loss please

    hi Daisy - I just started CMF last Thursday and was so happy to see a thread started on CMF. I don’t think a lot of people are on it and I hope to learn more about the side effects. I was told there is hair thinning only and to help minimize it, do not blow dry, use heat in any way, no dyes or color, and wash a lot less frequently. I am also getting a silk pillow case to help. Treat the hair very gently in other words. I would tell your doctor about the clumps and hopefully they can help

    hi Daisy

    I’ve been on another thread called CMF treatment and survivors experiences. This thread is also under Chemotherapy experiences. There are a few ladies here and there is active discussion. Perhaps check it out. Hope you are doing well

    let me now if you don’t find it. I still find this sight hard to navigate at times. Perhaps you can see where I have posted by clicking on my name, that may help. I also like the community on Mybcteam.com. It is more emotional support on good vs bad day and easier to navigate to me. Not many any are doing CMF, but good tips on side effects and many knowledgeable women to answer questions. You can usually get a response within an hour from someone. It is very active
