Hi,

You have hair fall due to anti-cancer treatment. The treatment is necessary, so you can not stop it. You may consult the oncologist for change of medicine. But, most of the drugs used for cancer can cause hair loss.

Avoid anxiety and just relax. You may take the tab. Biotin to prevent and to grow the hairs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
