Hair loss worry

by Decorlo on 4/25/2008 at 10:36 amin category Tell Your Story
I am 37 years old and diagnosed in March. I go for my first chemo in a week. Family and friends have been very helpful. I am just worried about loosing my hair. How long is it before it start coming out.

They told me 2 weeks from the 1st treatment, and they were right now. I had fairly short hair to start with and have my beautician cut it very short for my wig which I wore to work/church - hats the rest of the time. I wish I could say losing your hair is not the biggest thing to worry about, but for me, it was devasating. I would not have considered myself a vain person, but it was really hard. Do what is most comfortable to you, wigs, hats etc - and know that with time, that will pass as well - it does grow back. My last chemo was 10-24-07 and I still really didn't have much at Christmas but now starting to come back enough that I actual look like I have a hairdo - darker, grayer and waveyer than what I normally have - best to you - Lori

I am on Adriamycin and Cytoxen. My hair started coming out right after my 2nd treatment. This has been the hardest part for me so far. I'm wearing a scarf with a baseball cap. My thoughts are with you.
