losing hair

I never did lose all my hair- it doesn't have to happen. I had A/C +Taxol/Herceptin. My onc told me once that the next time he saw me I would have lost my hair- didn't happen. He kept expecting me to show up hairless, but I never did. I ended up losing about 2/3 of my hair and did cut it very short. I had a lot less hair on other parts of my body- mainly eyebrows, eyelashes, legs, and underarms- but never lost all. A nurse I know told me early on that sometimes it doesn't all go and I guess she was right. I would still plan on the wig from your own hair though.
