I cut my hair into a very short style as soon as I realised I was going to need chemo.
My initial plan was to keep the short style and just see what happened but when my hair started falling out during my first FEC cycle my husband used his clippers and got rid of it. It was actually my GP who convinced me when she laughed and said "I know a lot of cancer patients and if you think doctors are expensive - wait until you get the plumbers bill for unblocking your shower!"
My hair started growing back during my last cycle of Docytaxel. I was overjoyed but sadly that's when my eyebrows and eyelashes fell out!
