Can I have laser hair removal after TAC chemo?

December 17, 2021
Asked By:Sensible550629 in Pusztavacs, Magyarország

Hi, I’m 35, diagnosed and operated with TNBC, finished last round of chemo today (100mg epirubicin, 1000mg endoxan, 150 mg docetaxel), going to start 15x radiation in Jan 2022. I was wondering appr. when after the chemo my body hair will start to grow back, and if laser hair removal will harm my skin if started too early? Thank you, M
