I AM WAITING in anticipation for my hair to fall out.
A month or so ago, I was convinced that I might not "suffer" from this particular side-effect. However, my oncologist told me, during a recent telephone conversation, that losing my hair is not negotiable – in other words, I will lose it. Apparently it starts "happening" about ten days to two weeks after your first chemo treatment. It's been eleven days now. And counting...
Luckily I have my hair stylist, a good friend, on standby, so to speak. It is advisable to shave off your hair as one can only imagine how strange it must look to have patches of baldness.
In the meantime, I am still not completely convinced that my hair will fall out...
