Good luck with the hat shopping.

Hi Pita, unless you lost your hair before on Folfiri and avistan you possibly might not loss all of it. I started it a week and a half a go and still have all my hair. I know it's just one treatment but I'm hopefull

I know for me, I'd be a wig wearer. I am pretty fussy about hair. I am happy to spend $200 on a cut and colour every six weeks. I blow dry and straighten daily. I am blessed with terribly difficult hair - fine and frizzy but everyone says I have the best hair! They don't know how damn difficult it is to make it behave and how I long for wash and wear hair (which I've never ever had in my life) So, I was even kind of looking forward to having a break from it, to have perfect wig hair every day. I also wouldn't hesitate to spend a LOT of money on a very good wig. I was ready to shave it off at the slightest sign of it falling out and go for the wig.
As it happens, I didn't lose any hair at all, it didn't even thin. But that's how I know I would have handled it - celebrate perfect effortless hair. I don't even care if it looked a big "wiggy", I was going to have some time off washing, styling and regrowth colouring!
