Hi all, new on here. I have triple positive breast cancer and am having chemo every week, had my third today and am noticing my hair is starting to fall out. I have accepted I will lose my hair but just wondering when to shave it off and how everyone did it.

did a friend do it for you? My husband is refusing to do it and wants me to go to the hairdressers

also when should I shave it off? It currently just looks lifeless and very thin

thanks 

  • My husband shaved mine off. He's from Yorkshire and won't pay for something he can do himself. We did it because I was trying to cook and bake and ended up with double quantities because of my hair falling in it. Hair everywhere was becoming a nightmare, on my clothes, on furniture and in the car. 

    He does his his own with clippers so it was easy. After a few weeks we did it again because it was a bit tufty. Chemo went September to march. I wore scarves tied like turbans. I've stopped that now. My hair is growing, very grey but growing. Besides which after double x and full node clearance I couldn't tie my scarves. Now I don't care. I'm thinking of sticking at this length!! Saved a fortune in hair products and hairdressers.

    Three times! What did I do?
