Hi! I love that this forum exists. I’m starting ACT chemo in 2 days and was wondering if anyone has any advice? Some of the things plaguing my mind are How soon will I see my hair shed/will it shed or be in clumps? Does it hurt? Do you feel ill the next day or once you are past the 3 days of steroids? Thank you!
i I live in NYC so the exact eye mask is not available but I will try to find something similar. What was the cream you suggested? I have been so focused on losing the hair in my head I forgot about all the other hair on my body! Does it make a difference if you cut your hair shorter prior? My hair is thick and long…
