Despite believing that I wouldn't lose much hair with Folfox, I find my head becoming increasingly bare!! The Oxyplatin was stopped after 4 treatments, due to severity of neuropathy, and I wondered whether the hair loss would stop without it. 2 treatments on and I reached the point where I felt embarrassed not to cover my head about 2 weeks ago and started wearing a scarf or hat.
I love my scarves but feel as though I now wear a label "I'm having chemo!" I don't always want everyone to know so am thinking of a wig for times when I prefer not to stand out as someone having treatment. Not sure whether to cut or shave my head now as I keep it covered? What will be be most comfortable?
Seeing hairdresser /wig specialist next week but meanwhile wonder what those of you here who have lost your hair.... or most of it, did?
