My chemo/Erbitux/radiation treatments were completed April 27, and I began losing hair about four weeks later. Only in the past few days has the loss decreased and the sensitivity in my scalp abated. No thyroid problem. I also lost hair after my second child was born. Doctors have not pinpointed the cause. My nutrition was very good throughout my cancer treatment and I did not lose weight. Wish I could be more helpful.


Be well. Zenda
