Deep breath....there goes my hair
Well here we go...I knew this was going to happen, but somewhere deep in my heart I was hoping I'd be the weird one that didn't lose my hair. It's day 14 from my first TC chemo treatment. When I woke...

Thanks for your kind words Jel, it seems I'm only 5 days ahead of you from that first treatment. I think the situation with TC is the same, definite hair loss. I think perhaps you're wise to have the hair shorn as short as possible before it starts to fall. I had mine trimmed the shortest I've ever had it but still it's about 4 long at the top. It's just not short enough. This would be so much easier to stomach if it wasn't coming off in wads in my hands tangling round my fingers in the shower, it's a horrible horrible feeling.
I'm going to try to get into the wig shop tomorrow, the kind ladies there offered to shear mine to stubble and fit my wig properly when I'm ready. I think I'm ready.
I'm sorry for both of us dealing with this, but it does help to have support here!
