I Have NHL. I Took Revlimid, Lost Most Of My Hair Just On The Top Of My Head.

I have Non-Hodgkin’s Follicular Lymphoma. It has reoccurred three time now. The last treatment they gave me Revlimid, Rituximab, and Allopurinol. It caused me to loose most of my hair just on the top of my head. Has anyone else experienced this and will they hair come back once I stop?

I lost my hair by my 3rd cycle of treatment. It's been 10 months since my last treatment and my hair is almost to the bottom of my neck. However my hair used to be curly and now it's not. Hope everything works out good for you.

My last Revlimid and Rituxan treatment was 10 months ago. My hair thinned and is now thickening up again...I have hair that is about 2 1/2 inches long mixed in with the rest. It is curlier than the longer hair but that might just be due to the shorter length.

I was told lymphoma treatments do not cause hair loss...I was worried about losing my beard and they said nobody has ever lost their hair from treatments...hope you get fixed up!!

Ask, about it. I see no reason within a month of stopping that it will be coming in.
