I ask my Doc about a hair transplant...she said take one day @ a time. She also asked what was more important CANCE FREE or HAIR--I have not mention hair to her anymore.

Congratulations on your successful chemo treatments!
Hopefully the hair will eventually grow back over all of your head. You can minimize the visibility of the spot if your skin color is not glaringly different than your hair color, I think that is the principal of the spray accessory from some of the hair companies. If your hair is long enough and the spot is in a place that can be covered by arranging your hair in a different style that would work, but I would avoid the "comb over" attempt. It seems more attractive to just go with shorter hair, play up other features of your face and body and do what you can to minimize or detract from the bald spot.
It can be a struggle I know to deal with something that draws people's attention, but remember, many other people will see you that are cancer survivors or are struggling with their own "bald spot" that you will be setting an example for in how to deal and cope with a less than perfect circumstance! Best of luck to you.

Oh, my best wishes to you!! Hang in there, it is people like you that give the rest of the world hope!! May God bless you!
Anyways, try a haircut that would cover the spot, or maybe would Rogaine for women work? (I'm not sure if that works because of the chemo) Or just don't cover it at all, think of it as a war scar! Again, best of luck to you! Take care!

I would talk to a hairdresser and see if they can sew the hair around the bald spot together so that it covers it up. I think that they can do this and that you just need to get it tightened up every few weeks. I'm happy you are alive too. Best wishes on your recovery.

Most permanent method is hair transplant. For all the money you will spend on other methods, it may be worth it. I used to work with a hair transplant doctor and it really is amazing.

You could get hair extensions it will make your hair look thicker or a hair transplant. You could have your other hair comb over that area.

How about keeping a ball cap on until your hair grows out.
The keep it in a ponytail.
Be proud, live strong!
