Karen,
I was surprized to find that I did not lose all my hair, as my onc had "promised" me. I did shave it, as you can see from my photo, but lo and behold, here I am one week after my 4th round of TCH and not only is it not all gone, it is growing! Mind you, it is not pretty, sort of patchy and I certainly don't have enough to pass as a non-chemo person, but still there is a significant amount still hanging in. Had I known I might have opted to not shave it all off, so I could still have a little at the neck, forehead and ears under my scarves. Still, the shaving was so proactive, and assertive, in a time that I felt (and continue to feel) so out of control, it might have been worth it. Best of luck!
