Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are getting hair fall from chemotherapy. You should wait and watch for hair to grow. Otherwise you may go for minoxidil lotion locally. I advise to get complete test for thyroid as free T3, free T4 and TSH. As your symptoms pint towards thyroid problem strongly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi
