Quick Hair Loss Question
I have a quickie question about hair loss. I am on Fec - have had 2 rounds. My hair started falling out 2 weeks after first round. I shaved to a 0 blade at 3 weeks and the stubble has steadily fallen out since (I am now day 9 after my second FEC). I still have some stubble all over my head and am wondering whether to expect it to all go or have some stubble remain? It doesn't really matter I suppose just wondering what the norm is?
Thanks

I'm the same as Keryn. I cut mine after the 2nd FEC with the clippers as short as they would cut and it fell out after the next lot of FEC. I have finished chemo for 3 weeks now and i have peach fuzz growing on my head. very thin and fine but if you look closely its there. I think the stubble will fall out and you will have a shiny head for a bit. Now its getting cooler i look forward to having something ontop.

Hi there, my hair began to fall our withing the first 2 weeks after FEC also. I actually shaved mine to a 3mm and gradually in the next three weeks it all fell out. It was like a snow field every morning on my pillow. In the shower I made sure I gave my scalp a good massage to finally get the last of it out. I had fun experimenting with scarves and little hats as my hair went during summer.
Thanks Tonya - I thik I'm a bit past looking "edgey" now - might even get the stubble taken off. It's still going just slower now - from a distance I look bald and shiny but there is a fine covering on top and down the back - the sides are pretty gone. I'm now adding time to my "routine" to get my look right - lol!

Enjoy your stubble while it lasts -will look "edgey" on you.I reckon the Taxetore might knock it off but you never know.
