Hair loss
Hi, I'm new at this, I had my first chemo (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) on 1/3/17 and was wondering how long it will take before I start to lose my hair?

Thanks joolsmundy and girls for all your information. I was about to ask the same question.
I'm up to day 17/had 3rd Taxol on Thursday. Hair came out in the shower this morning like I was starting to moult.
My hair has felt "odd" for a couple of weeks. Scalp feels like ants and spiders running around on it which is the nerve endings. The other day it was like someone had tied the top with a very tight elastic in a ponytail. Today it feels like the hair is sitting on top of my head, like a hat! Crazy hey!!!!
Thanks Brenda5 for your beach story because I wondered if that could happen. I've bought some scarves and turbans to use and I've got one in my bag. I'll go and see my hairdresser this week and get it sorted.
So many different stories and experiences-thank you :) I appreciate reading them.
