Senior Member lorenzo Posted July 28, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I meant the title to say Chemo and Radiation after a hair transplant. I get asked all the time if a hair transplant is permanent. I am a veteran of two hair transplants and two bone marrow transplant (recent Jan. 2016). I have had so many chemo and radiation over the last 4 years that I cant count. Everytime I lose my hair the transplanted hair come back. I have enclosed two photos. One form March and the other from July showing my hair is growing back. I am back at the clinic assisting Italians patients. Edited July 29, 2016 by lorenzo Representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member lorenzo Posted July 29, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks Blake. Its been a struggle but so far so good. The doctors when I had a relapse in October gave me almost no hope. I was lucky to have my cousin coming to town the next day, she is a lymphoma specialist her husband head of the lymphoma department both at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. She trained in Vancouver so she knows the person in charge of the BMT department and they decided to give treatment a try. Representative for Hasson & Wong.

Dr Blake Bloxham Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Lorenzo, How fortunate! So glad you were able to pursue the additional treatment. Ironically enough, I performed a hair transplant on a radiation oncologist today. We thoroughly discussed hair regrowth post radiation and chemo therapy. He's had many patients ask about it. He's also had several patients ask about transplants when some hair did not regrow -- and I shared my thoughts with him as to why this occurs. I'm sure someone will find this in the future and feel comforted in their recovery, hair and all! Stay well my friend. Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.
