Hi @duna0972,
I was told hair falls out from day 17 of starting chemo. I shaved my to a number 1 blade as chemo started. I only had tiny hsirs then to fall out and they did at day 17 and within 4 days it was all gone. I had treatment in winter and my head was very cold so beanies and felt hats were great.
Your daughter must be a wonderful support and very brave too. I hope your treatment goes well. Your hair will grow back quickly once treatment ends. Take care
