Hey Mishie, it is the pits when the hair starts to go. Mine fell out 2 weeks to the day after my first chemo, my oncologist said that no chemo worth its salt doesn't lead to hair loss. I kept that in mind over my treatment, lost all, and I mean all my hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes, nether regions, etc, etc ...... The worst was up my nose, as it ran constantly, my eyelashes as my eyes watered and I had to wear sunglasses to keep the wind out of them.
I chose to wear a wig, and that gave me some confidence. I also you tubed how to apply makeup after chemo and learned how to brighten myself up, and this made a big difference. I also went to a Look Good, Feel Better workshop, and that was wonderful. They give you a bag of free cosmetics, show you how to use them, and have wig, hat and scarf demos.
It will pass Honey, and your hair will start to grow back about 3 weeks after your last chemo. It's gets better, I promise you.
Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????????
