To shave or not to shave!
Hi all, my chemo journey begins this coming Tuesday. I've been reading a lot about hair falling out and the uncomfortable/sore scalp that can occur during this process. Just wanting thoughts as to if...

Hi Quest,
I've just read the comments and had pretty similar experiences. I had AC treatment 3 weeks ago. After having shoulder length hair for so long, I had a pixie cut before anything happened. Day 14 - my hair started to fall out and feel like a molting cat. I've trimmed the longer bits myself and fortunately it's winter so it's great beanie weather to catch stray hairs. I've got a selection of hats (Russian one is fun in the cold), beanies and scarves. I've looked at a few you tube clips on how to tie scarves different ways (there's also some on pinterest). I've found my scalp is really sensitive and sore, tried a warm scalp massage in shower and olive oil!
Tomorrow, I'm heading back for #2 chemo and going to investigate their wig library for some ideas. All the best with your first chemo (tomorrow?) Karen xx
