p.s. Unfortunately, both the Leukemia and the Chemotherapy Expert Forums are closed to new questions.  However, you might find something relevant if you search the archives of those two forums.

I'm sorry to hear of your Daughter's recent problem but we here deal with Breast Cancer issues. There are Health Forums for both Leukemia and Chemotherapy and Expert Forums where Dr.s answer questions dealing with both subjects as well. I believe you will receive more appropriate answers on those Forums regarding this current issue. I will say that I do not think the hair loss at this time would be due to the previous Chemotherapy.   Kindest regards ....
