Hi Flutter By. Losing our hair is so confronting, it's one of the biggest adjustments we have to make. I had collar length hair, and when it started to come out in handfuls I had a buzz cut, and then shaved the remainder a couple of weeks later. Having had no hair for close to 2 months now, there is a certain liberation to it. And it certainly saves time!
On the issue of the aches and pains, I can't offer much help. What chemo are you having? I started taxotere for my 4th cycle, and got some aches, but not as severe as yours seem. We all react differently. One thing that did seem to help a bit was a warm bath, but it's not always practical.
Hope the pain eases soon for you. Don't forget to let your oncology team know how it's been for you. They may have some useful suggestions.
Take care, Lyn
