I completed my first dose of Xeloda on 3/20 and was wondering how long before I might see any signs of hair loss or if everyone is doomed for this. My Doctors told me that I do not need to worry about loosing my hair???? Please see my signature for my treatment since 2002. Any input would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance for your input.
