-- We are all personally attached to our hair. The very thought of it falling
out frightens us to the point where we begin to lose our self-esteem or even
worse, we succumb to depression.Cancer patients are among the millions who get
to experience excessive hair loss due to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced
hair loss is one of the most recognized side effects of cancer
medications. It is sad to know that a person battling this
life-threatening illness must go through this form of physical transformation,
but it is the unfortunate truth and we need to accept it with open mind.
Chemotherapy
attempts to kill cancer cells with radiation. The amount of radiation a patient
is exposed to depends on the seriousness of the condition. These drugs are
powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately,
these drugs also attack other rapidly growing cells in your body — including
those in the hair roots.
Sometimes
even the eyelash, eyebrow, armpit, pubic and other body hair also fall out.
Most of the time hair loss from chemotherapy is temporary. You can expect to
regrow your hair 3 to 10 months after your treatment ends, though your
hair may become finer, curlier or straighter than it was before. It may also be
of a slightly different color, or sometimes a mixture of dark and grey
hair. The chance of hair not growing back after chemotherapy treatment is
very rare.
Given
that hair loss cannot be prevented during chemotherapy treatments, the
following are hair loss solutions you can undertake to make you feel
comfortable with your appearance:
One
of the simplest hair loss solutions for cancer patients who are experiencing
hair loss is to have short hair styles. A cute short bob will make you
look good. According to some cancer patients, they find losing short hair less
distressing.
Wearing
wigs is one of the best hair loss solutions to hide your balding
condition. If you are planning to purchase a wig, the best time to do this
is before you start losing your hair. This helps the stylist create the
best match for your hair. There are great wig stylists who specialize in
wigs for alopecia (hair loss).
Caps
and scarves can be a suitable hair loss solution to camouflage the hair loss
induced by chemotherapy drugs. Some people find that the easiest and most
comfortable options to conceal hair loss are caps and scarves. These
ranges from those you may already own to custom items made expressly for people
who are undergoing chemotherapy.
Joining
a “look good, feel better program” has proven to be a great help for many
hair loss sufferers. You can participate on sponsored programs from
American Cancer Society which deal with hair loss solutions and ways to
make yourself look and feel better while experiencing hair loss during and
after chemotherapy.
It’s
not easy to lose your hair during chemotherapy treatments, but there are ways
to cope and try to work it out. Always remember to stay positive and never lose
hope because in the end you will be a stronger person for all your experiences.
