I lost all my hair on Abraxane and Carboplatin. My friends on Abraxane have all lost their hair as well. The hair will start to grow back around the third month of chemo, its neat to see the chemo fuzz hair. Avastin does not make your hair fall out. I was on it for 6 months and the main side effects were bloody nose or gums and headaches.

The prescription will help pay for the wig for sure. The American Cancer Society offers free wigs be sure to have a look there. They also have the Look Good Feel Good program for those on chemotherapy. It is a wonderful program you will get makeup tips and free products.

I wish you the best.
