When you go through kemo and lose your hair, does this include pubic hair?

Actually NO!
I have been through Chemo twice, lost 'all' my head hair
but none 'down there'

Yes, it can. But at least it is less noticeable then on your head.
And you will not always lose your hair though it does happen a lot.
A friend had very thin, kind of icky hair, after losing her hari to chemo, it grew back much thicker, a nicer color and full of body. Almost like a reward for putting up with the chemo.
Good Luck, I hope everything goes well for you.

Thats a good question. I know of people who have lost their hair, but I never asked about that. I know that as we get older, the pubic hair tends to thin as well as the hair on our heads.
I really can't give you an answer to that, except that it is very possible. Then again, if the chemo works, who cares about the hair? Good luck to you.

It may, it can be different for different people. I know of people that lost eye lashes, eye brows and hair on head. I think because it is a delicate subject, you don't hear people mentioning it much. You can ask your doctor and get a more educated answer that way.

Yes. But not as much or as fast as the hair on your head.

It includes all hair on your body..sometimes when hair grows back on your head it is curly..I hope this is a general question and you are not asking this question for yourself.

Yes, it usually includes all hair (including eyebrows, eyelashes, etc). Everything will grow back.

tHERE IS NO EFFECT WITH THE PUBIC HAIRS ONLY THE HEAD AND i WONDER WHY THE DIFFERENCE CAUSE IT SHOULD AFFECT ALL THE HAIR FOLLICS. bUT NOT ALL LOSE THEIR HAIR TO CHEMO. wOMEN THAT LOSES THEIR HAIR IS GOING THROUGH HORMONE CHANGES AND LOSES IT ANYWAY AND AGE PLAYS NO FACTOR.
