Hi
Can't help much about the fatigue I am afraid, but don't worry too much about your hair. Mine came in like peach fuzz - barely visible, thin and chalk white. I was still having chemo so hadn't expected it and was cheered (as I was by a row of diminutive eyelashes about the same time) but also a bit alarmed. But it gradually thickened.
Be prepared for some changes though - most people can put up with them relatively easily because we are just happy to have hair, but it can take a time for the damage to sort itself out. You will probably get a full head of hair fairly quickly, but it may be a different colour or texture. It's frequently very curly. After a lifetime of dead straight hair, I got what could only be described as a thick head of frizz! But it alters. Mine is now mainly back to my normal texture, but it's much less grey (which is good!) and is still changing slightly (back 2+ years). I look at it as a cheap way to vary my hairstyle!
Good luck, hope the fatigue proves temporary.
