Mother Cancer Survivor Keeps Photo Diary Of Her Hair Recovery
Hair is an integral part of the appearance of any woman. Even though is the easiest nuance of everything a cancer diagnosis entails, some women find hair loss and baldness a big obstacle to undergo chemotherapy.
Hair loss after chemotherapy is one of the most common consequences of taking the medication. Before treatment, oncologists always warn the patient about the likelihood of this side effect. At the end of the first course, the hair restoration process after chemotherapy is almost imperceptible. Intensive alopecia predominantly begins after the second. At this point, the structure of the hair is much thinner and loses its former strength. This side effect occurs not only on the head but on the entire body.
A cancer survivor who lost all her hair to chemotherapy kept a year-long photo diary showing her changing appearance as she went through recovery. Mum-of-two, Eileen Posner, 41, had long, flowing locks before she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer but went bald as a result of life-saving treatment. In total, she had six doses of chemo as well as undergoing radiation therapy and a double mastectomy to remove a mass on her left breast.
All those who have gone through chemotherapy, at least concerning hair regrowth, must perceive hair loss as just another experience. After a few months, one receives a completely renewed head of healthy new hair. Some women even claim that their new hair is thicker and much more energetic than before: a gift for a new and healthy life.
