Hi, professor Jane Plant wrote a book about surviving breast cancer called something like your life in your hands and in it she discusses this and what to eat/ take to combat the chemo, she also discusses all other treatments including radiotherapy. Sorry I don't have a quick answer for you xReplied by Annie (Seattle, Washington) on 07/03/2012
I'm pretty sure that the hair is going to fall out no matter what after you've had chemo. But I've heard of cancer support group members who advise others to shave their head right away, which is quicker, provides a sense of control, is neater, and can be less traumatic than letting the hair fall out gradually. Hope this is some help!Replied by Heather (Leicester) on 07/04/2012
Dr Plant used a diet very high in folic acid - she didn't lose her hair.
