Not everyone loses their hair with R-CHOP but it does seem to be quite common. I cut my hair short in advance of treatment (took years off me apparently) and then made a hair piece using my own hair with a fringe and bits at the back so that when it did all come out I was ready. Really cool, comfy and secure. This is an alternative to a wig and I just put scarves and hats over the top to look like me. I don't have a problem being bald or wearing hats without the hair but I've found there are times when I just don't want to open up the whole cancer conversation with people who I don't know. And I think it's a prettier look.
That looks great, a great idea well done. I lost my hair three times over my 2+ years treatment and got used to the look.
Some people can be absolute plonkers when it comes to what they say. Very soon after my hair disappeared we meet an friend in a coffee shop. I had a woolly hat as it was winter the conversation went “Oh hi Mike, looks like you have lost your hair then, take of your hat so I can see (takes hat off)....... (Laughs) oh cool” then he turns and orders a coffee and does not ask how I was getting on
