Hi Darlene, Like you I wanted to know others experiences. My hair was gone by day 20 (I had the TCH regime too). It began to come out faster everyday. My neighbor had just shaved her mother's head (a BC survivor) a month or two prior so she felt uneffected by it and I had her shave my head. Once it was over, it was a relief. Later in the day I felt like my friend did not get a close enough shave so I walked in to my salon. I think they were a bit stunned but then I got a really close shave. I put a hat on with really cool earrings and went to help run my 16 year old daughter's high school swim meet. I just "put it out there". It felt good and I kept reminding myself I was on my way to being healthy.
I choose to go bald or wear a ball cap, wigs never felt quite right.
After every TCH I was "down" on day 3 and 4 then began to feel better.
You will do well, allow some down time.
Take care,
Dana
