Hi @Caz1
Scary isn't it? How many treatments have you had? It's actually kind of amazing the amount of hair you have. It keeps its normal shedding routine plus the extra, so if you are like me, my hair sheds a lot anyway so add the chemo shedding on top of that and wow, there's hair every where. It backed off a lot after the second treatment and slowed again once I finished the AC and went on to taxol. It's distressing when you can see perfectly healthy strands of hair coming out.
I was sure it wasn't going to make it. It was even shedding, and nobody really could tell. I could because you can feel that it's thinnner and the one time I didn't have the cap quite straight I lost those little bits that sit in front of your ears. I didn't realise how much had actually gone until it started to grow back. Keep going lovely, keep that cap shoved down regularly on to your scalp. It will slow down.
