Would I Be Safe In Using Nioxin?

I am an a ovarian cancer patient with six(6) sessions. I ll be on my second this coming Friday. My question is, is it safe to use Nioxin as of last night I had pain like someone was pulling my hair out of my scalp. I got up and brushed and lots of hair loss. Would I be safe in using Nioxin? Thank you for the courtesy extended. Iris Taylor, Tucson, Arizona

Hello there
I understand your deep concern

Hair loss is inherent part of chemotherapy and hair fall solutions will be unnecessary at this point of time

A better solution will be to order a wig and last out the chemotherapy period

Hope that helps
