@MarcieC I'm so sorry to hear this has happened to you. Some women rock the bald look but it's not one that you want foisted on you. I had read some discussion about it and when I had my first consultation with my oncologist and the hair loss issue came up, I said that I had heard something about one of the chemo drugs. He knew straight away which one I was talking about and said he doesn't use it because of the side effects (at least, that's how I remember the conversation - I wouldn't go to court on it). So, the oncology profession in Australia is aware and it is appalling if the doctors are not providing this information. I should say that my oncologist also teaches so I assume that he is aware of what is current.
