Bonnie,
When I started doing TCH, I didn't really feel the significant effects until the 3rd treatment. My treatments were 3 wks apart. In fact after the first one I don't think I hardly felt a thing. The toxic effects are cummulative and that is why the later ones are felt more.
My hair started falling out on the 11th day following my first treatment! I just buzzed it after that.
On my lunch hr and need to go...
