Hi all, I just finished 6 rounds of ABVD on 7/2. I have lost over 50% of my hair, but so far I have not needed to wear my wig. When will the hair loss stop? I'm almost there.............

" Mine started falling out after 3-4 weeks and then started to grow back around 4-6 Weeks after Chemo.

It definitely grew back with a slight curl to it!, I have always has really straight hair. Also it was darker that before. "

" Mine never completely fell out - I would say I kept roughly 50% of my hair (maybe less). Anyway, after chemo ended, I continued shedding for about five weeks. I'm seven weeks out from chemo, and the last two weeks I've not been shedding. "
