Is it possible for a woman to get chemo and radiation with no hair or weight loss and no radiation tatoo?

Some chemo regimes don't cause hair loss, and many people actually put on weight during chemo.





She would have been required to have tattoos for radiotherapy, but they are small dots - I can only see one of the four I had.





What would not have been possible would be for her to undergo these treatments without having a great deal of time off work. I don't know why her colleagues are suspicious of her, but if she hasn't had a fair amount of sick leave to recover from surgeries and from chemotherapy that may be a reason.





It isn't unknown. of course, for people to pretend they have cancer, for attention or sympathy or whatever. If you know her well, you will probably know whether she has been sick and ill with the effects of treatment, and whether she has had hospital stays.





Give her the benefit of the doubt until you have reason to believe she's not telling the truth.Is it possible for a woman to get chemo and radiation with no hair or weight loss and no radiation tatoo?
well it depends on your case of cancer and what treatments you will need to receive.


not all chemo's/radiation cause hair loss or weight loss - my boyfriend actually put on weight during his chemo because they gave he steriods to help him with the chemo.


if you have radiation then your going to have a tattoo because they need to make sure that they blast you in the correct place everytime - its dangerous for them to just guess.


my boyfriend lost his hair 3 weeks after his 1st lot of chemo, (he only had 2 doses) but it soon started to grow back and he had a normal head of hair within 2 months.





if you get better then surely its all worth it.

Are there any turner syndrome adult women out there that have issues with hormone replacement and hair loss? ?

My daughter is 22 and is losing her hair. We think it has to do with turners and hormones. Her thyroid is fine, with medication. I would really like to chat with an adult turner syndrome women.Are there any turner syndrome adult women out there that have issues with hormone replacement and hair loss? ?
my daughter is 12yr old and has TS. she's got some hair loss. she has 1 patch about 5cms by 3cms and another 1cm round patch. She's been diagnosed with alopicia areata. She saw a dermatologist 3 weeks ago and has started on a steroid lotion to see if it helps.


Hair loss is a bit more common in women with TS although still it does not happen too often and is very rare in children with TS. With my daughter they are thinking it's her immune system attacking the hair follicles.


My daughters thyroid function is fine, it always has been she takes no medication for that. She started estrogen treatment about 8 months ago, oxandralone aged 8yrs and growth hormone aged 4 years. The alopicia started about 2 yrs ago but the hair grew back after 6 months, then about 1 yr ago came back in the same place but got bigger and showed no signs of coming back.


Luckily she has really thick hair so the patches are not seen, she can't have her hair in 2 pony tails or french braids though as it can be seen then. but down or 1 pony tail and it's not seen..She had a blood test done with her last yearly blood tests to see if there was any reason for the loss but all tests came back normal. I guess we will just have to wait and see if the hair comes back or notAre there any turner syndrome adult women out there that have issues with hormone replacement and hair loss? ?
I am 26 and has a similar problem with losing my hair, although mine was caused by an over production of testosterone. We have my testosterone level under control and I haven't noticed my hair growing back any. Although in my situation I don't want to take the medication to help with it because I want to get pregnant and it's known to cause birth defects.

Anyone experience hair loss with a copper IUD? I have the Paragard and have been hearing this happens to women

Side Effects %26amp; Health Risks of Paragard


When ParaGard is put in place, cramping or pain may be experienced. Some women feel faint or dizzy. The most common side effect of ParaGard are longer and heavier periods, and some women have spotting between periods. Usually, these problems go away after a few months. However, if menstruation is very heavy or does not stop when it should, call your doctor. You should also call your doctor immediately if you miss a period, because this means that you might be pregnant. Pregnancy can pose a serious health risk for any women with an IUD in place.





Some serious health risks have been associated with intrauterine devices, including ParaGard, are pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), perforation of the uterus, expulsion of the device (the IUD falls out), and difficult removal (the IUD gets stuck in the uterus and may require surgery to remove). A comprehensive list of possible side effects and health risks of the ParaGard IUD are listed below.





Documented Health Risks for the ParaGard IUD


Abdominal infection or adhesions (scar tissue)


Allergy to copper


Anemia


Backache


Blood poisoning


Bowel obstruction


Cervical infection or erosion


Cysts on ovaries and tubes


Death


Delayed menstruation


Difficult removal


Ectopic/tubal pregnancy


Embedment (IUD surrounded by uterine tissue)


Expulsion (IUD comes completely or partially out of the uterus)


Fainting and pain at the time of insertion or removal


Fragmentation (breakage) of the IUD


Infertility


Spotting between periods


Miscarriage


Painful intercourse


Pelvic infection (PID), which may result in surgical removal of your reproductive organs, including hysterectomy


Perforation of the uterus (womb) or cervix (IUD passes through uterine tissue)


Pregnancy


Prolonged or heavy menstrual flow


Infected miscarriage followed, in some cases, by blood poisoning, which can lead to death


Vaginal discharge

Side effects and health risks. Common side effects associated with the copper IUD are increased vaginal bleeding and menstrual pain. Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Advil, Motrin, others) helps with these symptoms. Some women may also experience a pelvic infection within the first three weeks of placement, as the insertion process may introduce bacteria into the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics before insertion to reduce the risk of such infections. The copper IUD doesn't protect against STDs. IUDs also carry a risk of spontaneous expulsion 鈥?which leaves you unprotected against pregnancy 鈥?or piercing (perforation) of the uterine wall during insertion.

You might want to check other possibilities for your hair loss like the thyroid gland for instance.Anyone experience hair loss with a copper IUD? I have the Paragard and have been hearing this happens to women
Have you been stressed out lately or changed your diet at all? I've got the Paragard and my hair's been doing fine~ don't rule out the IUD as the cause, of course, but check into other aspects of your current lifestyle, too.





HTH.

Are there vitamins that help with hair loss in a woman over 50?

Provillus is the only product I've seen that offers a women-specific product (instead of a unisex one).





It's basically a combination of a topical balm to stop hair loss and then a collection of tablets containing FDA-approved plant extracts to give your body the nutrients it needs to start growing hair again.





You can see Provillus in more detail here: http://www.regrowreport.com/provillus-re鈥?/a>





It's the best on the market.

47 year old woman with recent hair loss?

started as a quarter size spot and is getting bigger. Is this related to menopause, my family dr gave me prednisone and it seems to be getting bigger. What is my next step, all the labs he did were normal. Freaking me out47 year old woman with recent hair loss?
as we know hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections, hormonal problems, to mention a few.





year ago I suffered very much from dandruff and hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.


the things that really worked for me was:





1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





5) also I used herbal treatment - Provillus (do not use Rogaine - it can cause unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body)


It is a good products that helps prevent hair loss and contains Biotin and the clinically tested ingredients approved by the FDA to help re-grow your hair! I think it is very important!





It worked and still works for me!47 year old woman with recent hair loss?
Hair loss can be related to menopause. There is an excellent online site by Geoffrey Redmond about hormonal hair loss problems. You need referral to a specialist.
