Will hair grow back after chemotherapy?
The hair always grows back after chemotherapy loss (but not radiation therapy) in my experience of 20 years as a chemotherapy specialist doctor. As for the chances of curing her leukemia, we would need to know which type of leukemia. Her doctors know all of the details of her case – details we do not have. Please be sure to ask this point blank in a one on one talk with her primary heme/onc doctor. I had many of these special conferences. I did not hide truth from patients who wanted to know all of the details, but I tended to be more direct (perhaps even blunt) with the person who would have to carry on if things did not go well. Each doctor has his or her own approach in these difficult situations. For myself, I prefer to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. The outcome is impossible to know in advance. All we can do is prepare ourselves as best we can. Types of Leukemia: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) Hairy Cell Leukemia Acute Lymphocyt
