Hi @likeleigh2
I lost my hair 13 days after my first chemo treatment (A/C) - I used to run my hands through my hair to check each morning and that was when I got a good handful of hairs to show for it! Not clumps, just quite a lot of single hairs. I’d already bought two wigs and arranged with my hairdresser (end of the street!) to cut my hair very short. I took my wig with me so in about 40 minutes, it was out with the old and on with the new! It was quite a relief, my hair didn’t feel like mine towards the end. I was able to go and have a wig fitted so can’t advise about websites but I’m sure others will be able to help. Best wishes.
