Hi and welcome to the Community but so sorry to see why you are joining us.
I had a different type of NHL with a different treatment journey but we have folks who have been on R-CVP so let’s look for them to get back to you.
You can put R-CVP into the search tool top right and see the old posts.
This following link will take you to some Macmillan info on R-CVP.

Will your hair go - from the information it looks like it. From my experience having lost my very thick hair three times, I just put a number one over it, but long hair can be donated. A lot of the women on the site cut it short in preparation but let’s look for them to came back to you on this.
