Re: Hair loss after 4 weeks

I was on a different therapy but lost my hair two weeks after starting. Like you my hair felt awful (looked OK) before it started falling and my scalp hurt. I got it cut but really short - number 3 clippers - so that I only had to deal with very small bits of hair falling. I slept with a soft cotton cap and literally emptied it out in the morning. Everyone has different ways of dealing with the temporary baldness. I didn't want to be instantly identified by cancer at work (my staff and colleagues all knew but I meet lots of other people) so I wore a wig. I found a good supplier, and a light, easy to manage synthetic wig looked good and made me feel normal. Others don't like them and prefer scarves or to go natural. Often a mixture is a good idea (wigs for some occasions, scarves for others etc). My hair started regrowing while I was still having chemo treatment. Best wishes.
