Hi @Belgrave14
Sorry for the late response.
I had AC and it was once every three weeks with four treatments of scalp cooling.
I probably started to shed hair in the first three weeks but only small amounts but found l shed more once combing wet hair, so l tried leaving washing to once a week.
I have now finished chemo and l think I've kept maybe 95 per cent of my hair but l was very very lucky.
I've lost all hair on my body and most of my eyebrows and eyelashes but I'm told that l should have hair start growing back in the next 4-6 weeks.
Hope this helps you and if you want to know anything else please contact me again or you can write your own post to get a specific answer.
Goodluck and healthly healing to you.
