Hi I've had two rounds of ec chemo and about to get my third. Most of my hair has fell out but I have a thin layer of hair on the back and sides of my head. I'm wondering if the rest will eventually fall out as I just want the rest of it gone now !
Hi Skw
As my hair was coming out in handfuls after my second cycle of EC I got my husband to cut it to half an inch all over with his clippers. I continued to lose it until it was more or less the same all over. I never went completely bald but a casual glance would think that I was.
Thank you. That's good to know. I might just do the same as you !
Hi, my lovely hairdresser came to my house and kindly shaved it for me. And I wore a wig, with a completely different style, and I must admit I loved it. Best wishes
Oh thank you ! Might try that ! I did get a wig on the NHS but can't seem to get used to it !
