Hi: I just saw the post. I have been on Gleevec for 8 years, and I also had poker straight hair my whole life. Now I have curly hair, but its real tight and curly on the right side of my head, and only slightly on the left. My hairdresser just laughs to see it like this after all these years I have been going to her. Gleevec is a form of Chemo, therefore, I call it my Chemo Curls. That is why a lot of us have gotten curly hair. A lot of times with Chemo as you probably know, people lose their hair then it comes in curly when it grows back. I have tryed all different hairstyles, but it just never looks right to me.

It was absolutely straight and shiny, and determined to remain straight. After 7 years on Gleevec, I now have curly hair. Having kept the same hairdresser, she has noticed this change. With lupus I lost tons of hair, but it came back as the lupus was controlled. A doctor friend also suggested I take a Biotin supplement each day. My nails and hair are as healthy now as they ever were. Where the curls came from, I cannot imagine. Certainly not hereditary. Angie (In cytogenic remission since 2001) Sooooo, my question is this, has anyone of you noticed a change in your hair, too? Suzieq __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
