pat yourself on the back for going through all this! My hair started coming in about two months after finishing treatments. If you don't rub it really hard, you will not break the hair off since it is so fine. There is a hair line for chemo patients that you can use to help keep build up off your scalp and hair. as for the eyebrows,...i'm still drawing mine on, but i do have eyelashes!!

Hair grows in monthly cycles so it depends on what time during the cycle you stopped taking chemotherapy. If you stopped at the beginning of your hair cycle growth than it is possible for it to start to grow back pretty quickly within days or weeks. But, if you stopped treatment at the end of your cycle there may be a delay until the growth cycle starts up again. In my sons case all his hair from head to toes restarted about the second week after stopping chemo. It comes in all light, soft, and fuzzy. So it is anywhere from two weeks to a few months that the hair regrows.

Well done and I hope all went well!
As you are experiencing now, your hair is starting to grow again after a month. In my case it took 4 -5 months before all my hair was back, but as far as hair on my head, that is all curly. Seems to always come back curly for some reason, but this eventually grows out after a year or so, if you weren't originally a curly tops.

My hair started to grow back on the rest of my body before my head. I finished chemo about 2mths ago and my eyelashes, eyebrows and "other" hair are all back almost back to normal. Not having to take care of leg hair and other assorted waxing places was nice while it lasted, but I did miss having the eyebrows and eyelashes. The hair on my head is taking a while to come back but I finally have a 1cm covering over my whole head (no bald patches). Everyone is probably different and It may depend on the length and type of treatment but this is my personal experience.

Honestly it depends on the person. Some people's hair may grow back faster than others. It took me almost nine months as well. I wore a scarf and went and got a really nice wig but most of the time I just wore the scarf. I'm not really sure how long your hair has to be to have extensions though but if you are willing to get those, maybe just get a really good wig (trust me they have some really nice ones too made out of real hair. Best of luck! :)

No matter how fast a person hair grows, If the oldest hair at the tips is not healthy, it will continue to come out. When hair is damaged, as new hair grows in, damaged hair comes out, making seem as if your hair is not growing. Make sure you have a diet rich in protein (protein is the building blocks of hair) and condition your hair on a regular basis. There are some effective ways to help your hair regrow and be healthy.

Mine took about 4 months to grow it all back. Congrats on finishing chemo. I had 8 rounds of it last year. Good luck with your recovery. You'll do great.

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss. Learn here https://tr.im/2S54x
It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss.
There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.
