MartaSala,
So glad you are almost done with your treatments!! I didn't wear a wig. I chose to wear a soft cap/hat and I tied a long scarf around my head and made a bow with the scarf right by my ear. It gave me bulk which I was missing from my hair. I actually got compliments on it. I think either way you go you'll look beautiful and it shows you are a warrior. Kelly

MartaSala,
I had long blonde hair when I lost mine. After treatments it started growing back. After about 4 or 5 mos or so it was long enough for me to go without a hat. It was super short but I put on hoops and I went out! Now it's been 2 1/2yrs and it's below my shoulders. However, it came back about half the thickness. (My hair was super thick previously) when it came back it was gray and super curly. I've now gone back to blonde. Kelly

My hair came back about 8-9 months after chemo.

Thank you Kelly so much and I am happy you are back to almost normal live!!!! I had my long blonde hair before my DA-EPOCH with rituximab and I am finished my 5cycle( from 6) in hospital. After my 3th cycle they did PETCT and therapy work pretty well on me. I hope I will in remission after finished even my dream by cured. I just thinking about hair, I hate wigs, they help looks better but I am not happy of them. I wish come back to work( am 58) I have to, so I am curious about hair. Thank you again. Happy,healthy New Year Kelly ☺️
