Brief Answer:
Suggested Treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are lot of pathological changes and you have already taken a lot of medication including chemotherapy and other surgical intervention. I think you are on right track of medication.
I would strongly suggest you to continue the current medication prescribed by your physician to treat your mentioned problem . Any other alternative medicine would not be so much effective in case where chemotherapy is going on.
Regarding your hair loss problem there should be a gap of 3 to 6 month after the chemotherapy (after last session of chemotherapy) when treatment for hair can be initiated. If hair loss is due to disease condition or due to medicine (Other than the chemo) then it may take a little long time to cure the problem.
I would suggest you to give detail on following headings
1 Since when suffering with such problem
2 What medication you have tried so far
3 Type of hair, frequency of hair loss/fall
Hope this is clear to you
In case of any query feel free to ask
Thanks

Regarding the homepathic approach can't the blood be cleaned out with this treatment , for instance curcumin, Burdock , dandelion & yarrow as we need to treat the problem not just take chemo which kills the good blood cells. Doctors aren't into homepathic care what do you think
I have been suffering with this illness since 2012, my hair fell out completely I am bald . During the time I was seeing my doctor and she could not figure out what was happening to me. I am willing to get off chemo and go for the holistic approach I did see an herbalist and she suggested the 4 herbs I listed above that's why I would need a second opinion she says she is trying to combat the problem by cleaning my blood, targeting the spleen, adrenals, parathyroid and my red blood cells and colon thats why I needed a homopathic Dr to answer my questions for a second opinion

Hello
The power of medicine is increased by potentization medicine acts on the cellular level. You are already under the chemo session. Chemo kills the target cell at the same time most of the healthy cells are also killed which weakens immunity of body. Medicine used during the chemo are highly powerful which diminish the effect of other medicine. There are some medixine and herbs which may help to decrease the toxic effect of chemo.
But when it comes to hair fall problem it is difficult to treat hair problems until chemo session is going on.
Once effect downs we can start the treatment.
Meanwhile you can start the herb treatment suggested by your doctor.
Though if you wants to start the homeopathic treatment then write to us we would suggest some good medicine for you.
Hope this is clear to you
Thanks
