TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT-HAIR
I have long hair but have been losing it in clumps since December. I've been reading about the hair loss from the chemo. Did most of you find it better to cut your hair before you started chemo Or ev...
Hi Shaza,
I wouldn't cut your hair until you have to. My hair started to fall out last Tuesday, 12 days after first chemo, which sounds about the same for most people. My daughter cut it for me while my son & husband watched, we made it a bit of a joke. Than I put a hat on! And I have not looked at it, yes I am a chicken! Thursday night it started to fall out in a big way in the shower, I just let the water wash over me and kept clearing the drain! Traumatised I took Apo-oxazepam and went to bed. Last night same thing, I think I have a fringe of hair around the out side, little bits sticking out from under hat, still not looking! I am sporting a scarf at the moment in the fashion of Queen Elizabeth, to celebrate her reign I am telling people. But I would shave it all off if I had this week again. I feel better when I am in control.
