Hi Kathryne
After a little thinning loss, I too lost it in clumps - blocked the shower one morning (3-4 weeks after 1st FEC)!! The extra water from the tears probably didn't help either!! It was the clumpy bald patches that did me in and I shaved it the next day and have been really happy since. I have had to wear hats to bed, etc as it's a tad cold in winter in Tassie but with the hot flushes at night since Taxotere I'm also hatless at night most nights. I happily wander around home without hats or wigs and haven't had any worries about wearing my wig (really pleased with) when I go to school or out for special things. Hats are tending to annoy a little more since Taxotere as well. I'm hoping that maybe once summer comes, scarves will feel okay because I don't want a burnt head!!
I admire your BIG BOLD and BEAUTIFUL approach and it sure sounds like you'll work through this in your own very strong way.
Take special care, Dette xxoo
