Chemo changed my hair - Stage 4 Lymphoma Cancer

[@micahrichards4787]

I finished chemo almost a year ago and I love my curls too. Aaand, I absolutely LOVE YOUR ENERGY! God bless you!!

[@MelanieCamille]

Survivor! So awesome!

[@toniaconner1646]

It may sound silly but what stands out to me the most in this video is at the beginning when you say, “...my life AFTER cancer”. When I was first diagnosed with lymphoma I searched frantically for a glimmer of hope, anything of proof that this would not be what ends my life (because I knew nothing of NHL and all I could hear was, “cancer”). I’ve commented on one of your videos before but seriously, these videos with you happy and living your life, having survived the hard times is really encouraging. So thanks again! 😊 I personally have not needed chemo yet as I am “watch and wait” at the moment but may someday and the thought of it truly scares me. I hope when/if that day comes I will handle it with the same great attitude that you have! 💚

[@MelanieCamille]

You are too sweet! If/when that day come, just remember that it is survivable! Not fun of course, but survivable. It can only make you stronger in the end ❤️

I am 84 just finished chemo and radiotherapy apart from feeing very tired I am OK I had hodgkin's lymphoma and thyroid cancer x

[@ratheeshmm3498]

My wife finished breast cancer treatment Before 1 year not growing hair back You are lucky atleast you got hair again

[@MelanieCamille]

Wow that's crazy! I didn't even realize not getting hair again was even a thing! I'm so sorry

[@sproutsrevil6508]

I’m 18 months after chemo. It’s crazy curly. Was horrid snd frizzy. I’m leaving it alone for 6 more months. Then will get it cut. The chemo is leaving my body. I can see my hair looking more ‘normal’ and less like straw! Small price to pay for life

[@svaught1]

Mine is not pretty. Its more fuzzy than curly. I hope this changes. Three months post chemo now. 😊

[@sproutsrevil6508]

@@svaught1 It will be a long wait. I don’t really wash my hair. Once every 2 weeks. And was told to use baby shampoo. I do use conditioner once a week. It’s long enough to have a pony tail. ( tail. More if a stump. 🤣🤣). Snd grips. I’ll just wait till it settles. As long as that is. Won’t have it cut until it does. Well done getting through it all Sheryl. Take it easy. Xxxxx

[@csc1641]

I will finish my 8th and final chemo a week from tomorrow. Due to C-19, all salons were closed so I had no one to shave my head. I cut my own hair because it was coming out everywhere. I still have some hair on my head and was never completely bald. I can't wait for it to grow back and I don't care what that is right now. I finished 4 A/C and 3 Taxol so far. One more Taxol to go. Yea, me! Can't wait to be done.

[@MelanieCamille]

That’s so exciting!!! My husband shaved my head. He offered to cut my hair while we were in lock down. I graciously denied lol

[@csc1641]

To me, your hair looks beautiful, full and healthy. Your hair looks really cute.

[@MelanieCamille]

Thank you! I really love it. And it’s sooo much longer than it was in this video

[@mumof6164]

I just finished chemo and my hair is starting to grow,but I fell in love with my bald head

[@blsdthnkfl8896]

Me too! I had very long curly hair before I started chemo/radiation. Although I cried when my oncologist told me I was going to loose my hair, after shaving the remaining pieces; I felt so beautiful ☺️

[@MelanieCamille]

Definitely sucks

I am glad my videos can help

[@micahrichards4787]

It'll probably grow back curlier and thicker. After you shave your head and depending on the type of chemo, it may take awhile (months) before you see growth but don't be discouraged. God be with you through your journey.🙏🏽💞😇

[@ljb6343]

I am with you......I am almost a year after my chemo and had 16 weeks of radiation (everyday) and now my hair is so curly especially in the back that I think I am excited to now have curly hair!!!! 😃 I did try straightening it (it's not that long) but it did go back to curly!!! It's getting longer but you can't tell because it is that curly!!!! 😂 When I cut all my hair off when it started falling out my air hurt like the stubble!!!! (For 8 mos.) HURT! Everyone told me I should've pulled my hair out 😲!!! But I'm excited to see what my hair does now!!!

[@hissao8550]

My mum always had very straight hair. After chemo (lymphoma), her hair became curly, but today--five years later---it is back to straight again. What fascinates me the most is that her hair before chemo was already grey (she is 60+), but the chemo reversed her hair colour to black.

[@deannajohnson3933]

That's pretty interesting. I didn't know people going through chemo shave their heads, I thought all of it just came out all of a sudden. The more you know...

[@MelanieCamille]

Well I shaved it because it was all falling out and it was getting messy. But if you don’t shave it, you could still have some very thin hair! It just depends on how strong the chemo is. Some chemo treatments don’t even make you lose hair!

[@kristianborillo8338]

My Im 17 years old, male, and my hair was very straight before chemo now its wavier than before my friends like it and im starting to like it. They even say i look like a korean pop star but I don't really think i look like it at all...

[@Cheewaaa]

My hair was super straight too , and now it is curly 😂😂

[@micahrichards4787]

Kudos to you, Kristian. When I see children going through this, it makes me stronger!🙏🏾👍🏽

[@AutumnGardMusic]

I looove your curls too! They are so pretty!!

[@MelanieCamille]

Thanks ☺️

[@TheSkycielito]

Thanks for sharing this i was quite confuse why i now had curls 🤣 I had radiotherapy in my neck and part of my jaw in my left side due to parotid cancer. They told me no your hair will not fall out, but it did. I had 60 sessions so two months . Now a quarter of my head has curls but it is still very short and the rest of it is wavy as usual🤣

[@MelanieCamille]

Crazy! Recently the under side of my hair has been really straight and the top layer is curly. Which I know is so backwards for people with curly hair lol

[@hellohuman2701]

I am 2 years past my bilateral mastectomy from stg3 gd3 TNBC, on 11/4/2019 I only had a few fuzzies. Today 12/2021 I have lovely curly hair!! I too, spent my whole life with this beautiful straight silky hair, and I absolutely mourned the cutting of it, and then shaving it. It was traumatizing to me, but I completely LOVE my curls I could never obtain before! So I hope to keep mine too, for as long as possible! However I am thinking that since it can hold a curl now, that I could possibly perm it to get even more curls! I’m going to attempt to use a curling iron to see what occurs! I’ll let you know! Congrats on getting married and being in remission!

God’s grace and his mercy 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@milk1112]

[@MelanieCamille]

Me too! It’s the best. I hope it never goes back lol

[@jessicastahl613]

My hair got curly after puberty in 6th grade. I just had a little wave it it before then. I always thought I might loose some curl after I got pregnant. Well, as you know, I had Lincoln two years ago and still going strong with the curls!! So there is hope you'll keep it!!!😆 I hope so I like your curly hair!

[@jessicastahl613]

Although you are beautiful either way!!❤️❤️❤️

Lol thanks! I hope I get to keep them too! They are fun 😊

I have heard if you don't cut your hair, the curls last longer

[@haileyletrice4648]

I go to my last chemo session tomorrow and my hair is a bit thin but i still have alot of have. I dont know what to do with it now..

[@tracynoyes556]

I never lost my hair. The hair just has continued to grow, has gotten thick and curly. I was blonde and it has really gotten dark. The texture of my hair is now like African American hair. Has the texture of your curly hair changed significantly? I can't find any videos on how to care for a change of hair like this. I'm at a total loss. I have now switched to black hair care products as far as shampoo, conditioner and leave-in milk, but I don't know how to style it. Any direction would be appreciated.

[@ydwfear]

I’m 17 and went through Hoskins lymphoma and I just finished and my hair is starting to sprout and I want it curly so bad 😭🤣

Same for me. I want to shave it sometimes. Patience I guess.

[@piyushrajthakur8287]

i also finished my chemotherapy in August...but its ok to be curly hair...but i love my old one hairs...and also my skin should be dark...dont no...when everything goes same

[@holliss5]

My hair is now curly, it was straight before

[@Lorimars319]

It's been eight weeks since my last chemo treatment in my hair is barely growing in. Is that normal? 💔😢

[@MelanieCamille]

I had a bald spot that took quite a while to grow back. It probably took a few months. If you have any concerns, you may want to speed to your provider

[@micahrichards4787]

Shariff is right. I had strong chemo for a year and it took forever for peach fuzz to appear...about 6 months. Don't worry!!🙏🏽😇💞

[@ilovekimnamjoon9262]

let me get this right. you said that after a couple of months your hair can be back to normal like you used to have it before chemo?

[@Stephbreez]

Beautiful Inside and Out! I also had long straight hair now a little over a year out of chemo and i have a head full of shirley temple curls😂 Check out my hair journey on youtube by looking up B4, during and after chemo played with my hair. Sending you lots of love and hope! 💜🙏🏻💪🏻

[@MelanieCamille]

Will do. Did it change color? I hear that can happen too

[@Stephbreez]

Yes! It got a little darker but alot coarser. It was easier to do when it was really short but now im at the point where its actually a pain to style and Unless I have gel or some kind of product in it it’s sticking out all over the place😊 so I have to keep it in clips. I tried straightening it but no use because it curls back up at the end by the end of the day🤷🏻‍♀️ Regardless, long or short, curly or straight, brown or green 😊im just happy i have hair again and most importantly a negative PET scan!! Wooo Hooo! 😘

[@MelanieCamille]

It look a whole for me to have a full head of hair again (no bald spots). I can’t remember exactly how long, but probably close to a year

[@micahrichards4787]

Hi Carlotilla, It took a looong time before my hair started growing back. Through patience and prayer I finally saw peach fuzz. Many people develop alopecia due to chemo, but the good news is there are numerous remedies for it through science and technology so be sure to ask your doctor just in case. Don't give up hope and may God continue to bless you!!🙏🏾😍

[@reverie.6436]

I had worries when my hair started growing curly an messy 3 months after chemo. I've always had straight hair ever since I was out the womb and wondering if it would go bavk the way it was. I do love the idea of a curly hair but I do have a question. Did you cut your hair during the growing stage? Mine is really messy at the side and on my neck so I was wondering if I should cut it or just let it grow.
