Does Color Rise In Hair Of A Cancer Patient Cause Any Side Effect?
I am a nurse educator at a cancer center, and have a patient who is receiving Folfox. Although she has not lost her hair, it has thinned. She did ask about using a hair dye, and we advised against it. What about a color rinse. Would this still be considered in the same category, and cause undo side effects. I was unsure. Thank You
