Hair Loss Treatment for Men & Women 2010
Hair loss is a typical side effect with a lot, but not all, forms of chemotherapy treatments. The medical staff will explain the probable consequences that will occur once the treatment has started. This little pep talk is aimed to educate the patient with regards to the big picture, including the risks involved, the estimated number of sessions, and the desired outcome.
But try as they might, no amount of light talk or informed discussion will fully prepare an individual to the physical strain and emotional trauma that will be inflicted to cure the dreaded disease. The main concern is continued existence. However, the substantial impact of its effects cannot be denied and this can be devastating.
WHAT CHEMOTHERAPY CAN DO?
Here is what chemotherapy does. It blasts cancer cells, but it damages growing and healthy cells as well and hair follicles are also under attack. And as the radiation strips the hair of keratin, hair loss is inevitable. The severity is highly dependent on the strength of the chemotherapy. If you are enduring intense doses, then extensive hair loss can be expected. It should be noted that the term ‘hair’ embraces the eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, nasal hair, as well as arm and leg hair. Again, shedding of these different types of hair is reliant to the kind of treatment the doctors will prescribe.
Hair loss does not only bruise one’s vanity, it renders an already weak system wide open to further assault. The absence of nasal hair may hurt the respiratory system for nothing will limit the amount of harmful materials that may penetrate said system. As for the lashes, these preclude injurious particles from entering the sensitive eye membranes. And lastly, the body hair that envelops us regulates temperature. Without this, we are susceptible to fluctuating temperatures.
The usual scenario goes like this; hair loss happens after a couple (or so) cycles
of chemotherapy. And this can bring a plethora of emotions -
IT’S JUST A TEMPORARY
Remember, hair loss due to chemotherapy is temporary. Six months after completing the treatment, the hair usually grows back. Sometimes the new strands of hair will have a different texture or bear a lighter shade as compared to the previous locks. Sometimes it just reverts back to the way it looked and how it felt before you started your treatment.
If you are really having a tough time letting go of your tresses, think of is as some kind of a trial by fire you need to endure to obtain a new lease (or an extension of it) in life. Tell yourself that this is the cost one has to give in order to have a greater possibility of surviving such ailment.
See here, losing one’s hair because of chemotherapy does not connote the end of your existence, rather the beginning of life anew.
