Loss of hair
I had my first FEC chemo 11 days ago. Just wondering when my hair is likely to fall out?
Will my future chemo treatments make me feel worse each time?

I had FEC starting in January 2012. My air started dropping out at 14-15 days after the first infusion. The follicles got really sensitive and hurt so I made my hubby cut and then shave it all down.
I wore a really good wig all the way through (I was still working). My hair started growing back during the Taxol after FEC. It has grown really slowly though. It's still only a couple inches long but I'm a brunette and have been having fun with this short hair - have it bleached totally blonde and spikey. Quite a change for this 47yr old brunette!
