You are doing well to have any left at all to worry about.
My first chemo I went from waist length locks to a pixie before chemo then a mate gave me me a thorough shortening with her horse clippers when it felt like what was left was being pulled out by the roots. Then I shaved it.
Last time was similar--long, shorter, shaved.
It's weird but somehow empowering to learn the contours of your skull. To take a razor to it. Men do it all the time . Give it a go if you have the inclination, or get someone to do it for you if you don't.
Totally shaved bald feels amazing in the shower. Mxx
