It has been 2 years since I had chemo done and hair didnt fall out can your hair start to fall out in 2 years?

It may have a delayed reaction. You should ask your oncologist--I'm assuming you still see your onc fairly regularly. I am 13 yrs out from chemo and still suffer ongoing damage to my heart and lungs. I had radiation to my head and it did make the area bald and smooth-no hair for about 5 years after. Chemo usually affects the hair while the active treatment is in progress as it is designed to act on the rapidly growing cells in the body such as the hair. Once the chemo is mostly gone the toxicity is much reduced and the hair comes back.It has been 2 years since I had chemo done and hair didnt fall out can your hair start to fall out in 2 years?
Hi Carol,

Firstly, I hope you're well now and done with the Chemo'.

Hair loss is a side effect of the radiation from the Chemotherapy, whislt is doesn't effect everyone it is one of the most common thing's people encounter when dealing with it.....It's unlikely after two year's that your hair should start to fall out but, it's important to take note of any hair loss you do notice....This can be anything from your hair getting thinner and more "unmanagable", the most likey way to tell if it's major hair loss wouldn't really be measured by how much hair come's out through combing or brushing but, by looking at the actual hair line to see if it's receeding.



If you notice that it's becoming more of a problem you should mention it to your doctor....

It's also important to measure any other body part's that could have alot of hair too....Simply because those area's would most likely be covered up and hair loss can also occur through weathering....So, if you're not losing hair anywhere else hopefully that mean's that daily weathering is all that's responsible....



Hope this helps....It has been 2 years since I had chemo done and hair didnt fall out can your hair start to fall out in 2 years?
I do not remember chemo causing hair loss. Radiation a definite yes. This goes back 37 years when I beat Leukemia. It is now cured and I received very new chemo drugs, and radiation treatment. My latest battle is with a damaged liver, and 4 tumors on the liver. Chemo for liver cancer is a surgical procedure. There has been yet no mention of Radiation. And no hair loss at all.It has been 2 years since I had chemo done and hair didnt fall out can your hair start to fall out in 2 years?
If your hair falls out, it won't be delayed effects of chemo. That doesn't happen.



Hair loss is a side effect of radiation yes, from the chemotherapy, no... unless you worded that statement wrong.
