Didn’t lose hair?
Has anyone been through chemo and not lost their hair? Is this possible?

Hi @Natuls, generally hair falls out on day 17 from first chemo. I had really thick curly shoulder length hair. My oncologist suggested cutting it or shaving it to reduced the emotional impact. So after my first chemo I booked my hairdresser. She has been my hairdresser for 20 yrs or more. I took my husband and son with me along with a cheese platter and a bottle of wine. It wS late afternoon and no one was there. We said goodbye to my hair. I took it down to a number one blade. It actually looked pretty good but it definitely made the falling out less dramatic. It was bad enough standing in the showers washing my head and all those little hairs coming out leaving me patchy for a few days. It was winter so beanies and scarves were great. Good luck with your treatment and hair.
