Who didn't cut their hair before it fell out?
I know most people cut their hair when it starts falling out, but I'm wondering if anyone chose not to cut it.

My sister in law didn't. She had cut her hair to a bob before starting chemo. Her family complained finding it everywhere. In the fridge. In food etc.
I only got mine shaved off once it was coming out in chunks. I was at the swimming pool when it started...came out in my cap. Then chunks in the shower stall. I got home...put on rubber gloves and pulled and pulled on it to get loose stuff out. Within a few hours and despite this I virtually had a second layer of hair below my bob line...all the hair that was detached. I found it distressing. So I called my hairdresser and had it buzzed off. Felt so much better.
I did have AC chemo. My hair partly grew back on weekly taxol so if just that it might be different.
Cold caps are different and some people just thin with that. Entirely your own choice. Just have a plan for if you can't stand the fall. Kath x
