I did 6 months of triple tx and lost a lot of hair. Last Monday was the first time that I did not have clumps of hair in the shower. That would've been 20 weeks post eot. Hairdresser said last Thurs that she sees lots of short new hairs coming through at the back of my crown so that is good news! So hang in there, it will grow back. Tx affects everyone differently so it may be quicker or slower for you.

I regained all of my lost hair within 3 months after 6 months of failed tx. The color is back too and I've been told that I look like I have more hair now than before tx. !

My hair continued falling out until several weeks after I finished tx. I lost a good 75% of my hair but it's all back now !!!
Make your mantra: " It will grow back." Because it will :)

It may take even longer than six months for you to feel normal again.  But you will get better.  It took me almost a year to actually notice new hair growth so dont get discouraged.  Its different for everyone. Im glad to hear that you finished your treatment.

It depends on the person but it took me a few months to start see new hair.  Remember it take 6 months for these toxic drugs to leave your body.  

Sorry
