hair loss
Hi all,Some advice please. I start chemo on 10/2/12. I intended on having a cropping with a few friends and of course champaign just before, my hairdresser will come over to my home.
I was chatting...
Hi, I had FEC paclitaxal and herceptin and radio, and my hair started to fall out just after my secend chemo. I chose to cut it very short with the clippers and when it fell out it was like dandruff. My eye lashed and eyebrows went too, I tink they were the hardest as it changes the look of your face, but you never know how it will affect you. My leg hair all went but my pubic hair just thinned a bit, bummer! If you are having the red stuff (FEC) then your hair will fall out. I wen about with a bald head, it was very liberating, I could have the car window down without messing up my doo. I found it an interesting feeling when my hair started to grow back, the air movement through your new hair is really nice.
I am now 1 year post treatment and copeing with too much hair again, hair cuts are sooo expensive. My hair came back exactly the way it was before, maybee a little darker, but no curls for me, just dead straight hair.
