While hair loss is most commonly associated with cutaneous lymphoma and certain other lymphoma types, the pattern you're describing - particularly the large bald spots that are expanding - is concerning and warrants medical attention. Since your last chemotherapy was six years ago, this hair loss is unlikely to be treatment-related. When hair loss occurs in patches or specific areas like you're describing, it's important to have your oncologist evaluate this symptom.
