My head is hurting so bad. I’m on day 22, (weekly pac/carb)I have (normally) long hair and lots of it. Before I started chemo I got a cut, no. 4 shaved head but kept long And thinned our on top. I’ve probably started the hair falling out but it’s not really noticeable yet, some odd hairs on my clothes and shower but that’s sorta normal for me. I am not coping with the pain on my head today, significantly worse than yesterday. It hurts wat too much to even touch. I could not handle shaving it right now.ive taken Panadol and neurofen and having a warm bath immersing my head underneath gently seems to help. I worried about it getting more painful and the falling process slow for me.
