Hair loss

Hi,

I'm 38 and was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. Completely unexpected as no family history. Just found a lump and got it checked out, but never expected it to be cancer.

I had my first round of chemo on 8th May and my hair is now starting to fall out in clumps. I have already had it cut short, from half way down my back to chin length but I think I'm going to have to shave it all off.

How has everyone else coped with hair loss? I knew it was going to happen but it's hit me harder than I thought it would. Not sure if it's because I'm malting hair every where so it feels like a constant reminder.

I've ordered some head wraps but they won't arrive for a few days.
