Kellt's Question of the Day
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
I haven't had hardly any hair loss at all, just the average few hairs a day that I always seem to lose. I eat TONNES of protein and I think that has helped sooo much. The surgeon and dietician were impressed that I haven't really lost any hair
I say, get alllll the protein in you can and that should help a lot.
BELOW GOAL 
Happily maintaining 4.5 years out!! 
Life is GREAT!!! 
Had my plastic surgery!
My hair is REALLY thick so I can stand to lose some. I still haven't noticed a loss yet. I lost a lot of hair when I breastfed my 3 boys and all the hair came back. I noticed some hair pieces in the Avon book at a really good price. Maybe someone has bought them and can chime in about them. Just pray to the hair God's to be nice to you :)

I have/had incredibly thick hair, with the loss I had after this surgery I now have a "normal" head of hair. That being said, when going through Chemo (several hundred years ago) I had access to a Cancer Care Ontario Program "Look Good Feel Better" They provided me with hair extensions as I had enough hair to apply them too. Toady's wigs are another good option.
Ensuring you have enough protein and maintain a ferritin level (iron) over 40 will help stem the hair loss. The chemo trick of a tight head band to keep the blood supply in the hair follicle has worked for some as well. The light at the end of the tunnel is that the thinning of hair tends to be short lived. Ask a vet!

Also, the protein. Big discussion for me lately. I went over all of my literature from TWH, and it tells me I should be getting 60-80 grams a day, but you are the third person I have seen who gets 80-100 grams a day. Every clinic, doctor etc. is so different.
