How long do you think I have??
Oncologist said hair loss should start a bit after 2nd treatment. I am 2 weeks out from my 1st round and the hair just seems to be falling out all of a sudden. I have thick hair that I had cut short ahead of time. How long do you think I have until I have to pull the wigs out from the back of my closet?
In total denial about this and not ready...1st time I have cried since they told me about having to do chemo. Didn't expect to see a pile of hair in the shower this morning
