Hi Christie,
I was exactly the same as you. My hair started falling out from day 12 after my first cylce and by day 14 it was really thin so I decided to go the head shave. My son have fun when he discovered that when he pulled my hair it came out in big clumps. I think he speed up the process of hair loss. I then got a really soft bum fluff thin white covering on my head which stayed with me through the rest of my chemo. I found the hair loss one of the hardest things to deal with as I looked like I had cancer and in my eyes a freak and everytime I went out I thought people were staring at me which in some cases they were. I eventually got used to it though I did not feel very attractive. Going to the Look Good Feel Good session run by the cancer council helped. I have now been finished chemo for 2 months and am starting to get a nice covering of hair on my head and soon I wont have to wear hats or that wig anymore. Looking forward to that.
