Anyone else having white hair grow in rapidly. My husband is 41 and taking venclexta and a weekly injection of zarxio to treat his CLL. He didn't have much white hair before starting treatment. And now it's coming in all over his body.

Bless you for quoting a Proverb: white hair is more prevalent amongst the godly. 👱‍♀️😇

In Proverbs it says white hair is more prevalent amongst the godly!

I am 72 almost 73. The women in my family turn white, starting at the temples and slowly moves towards the back/top of the head. I have not noticed the color changing faster, but my hair is thinning faster in the front/top. I am a natural blonde and my eyebrows/arm hair have always been very light in color. I take Calquence twice a day since Jan 2024. Based on other's comments it appears his hair color change is due to treatment.
