Question: Will my hair grow back?

Answer: Yes, hair loss from chemotherapy is temporary. It will grow back, usually after therapy is finished. In some cases, hair can grow back during therapy. Usually the texture of the hair is different for the first year. Then, after a year or so, it usually goes back to how it was before you took chemotherapy. Hair loss from radiation therapy may be irreversible.
