Regrow hair after cancer?

my friend had cancer and has hair loss because of treatment...can he regrow the hair back???Regrow hair after cancer?
Most of the good cells killed by chemo will grow back -- including hair -- and rapidly. He should eat a diet rich in protein for a few months to assist the body in repairing itself.Regrow hair after cancer?
Yes it does grow back.





How long it takes to grow back varies from person to person. Hair may start to grow back while still undergoing chemotherapy or after treatment has ended. Many people report seeing hair growth around four to six weeks after the end of treatment.





When hair does grow back, it may be a different texture or possibly a different color than it was before you started treatment. For example, if you had straight hair, it may grow back in curly. Some people also find that their hair grows in gray and then a few months later returns to their natural color.
Yes, his hair will grow back. I had cancer when I was 2 1/2 and had it for about a year. I had 28 treatments of radiation and a year's worth of chemo. My hair completely grew back when I was about 41/2. The hair may not be the exact same color but it will grow back. My hair was jet black before it fell out and grew back brown.
the hair grows back. it's not always the same color or type, but it does come back. my aunt lost hers and her hair came back curly, even though it was stick straight before her chemo
