Re: Question re: Chemo/ & Helen

[Guest guest]

Hi and Helen,

I took GNC brand Biotin 600 3x a day during chemo in 2001.  My hair thinned, but

I never lost it and what had thinned out was already growing back before the

chemo ended.  The doctor and chemo nurses scratched their heads in puzzlement

the entire time.  Now, the nurses give chemo patients the info as part of their

orientation.  I also had an aunt go through chemo and do what I did, and she

never lost her hair either.  The key is to start it before you start chemo.

Hi Helen,

Thank you so much for your reply, it's comforting to hear from someone who's

going through the same thing.....
