When will hair loss start?

by LauraLea on 4/29/2008 at 7:06 pmin category Tell Your Story
I am on day 14 after my first chemo and I haven't started to lose my hair and the waiting is really hard. I am sure everyone is different. If I could get some different time lines it would be nice.

My hair started falling out about the 17th day. Mostly in the shower, I also had it shaved off about the 21st day. My husband did it for me. Mine did not hurt, but my scalp was a little sensitive. FYI, if you choose to wear a wig, it gets very hot, and your sweat has no where to go but down your face.
Lots of Love,
Adriana

My hair started falling out the night of my second treatment. So I guess Day 15 was when it began. Within a week I had my neighbor shave it off just so I wouldn't have to deal with hair falling everywhere and clogging up the drains. My hair hurt too! Very strange! It's like I could feel every single follicle. Are you on Adriamycin and/or Cytoxen? Just get those hats ready. Love, Rosemary
