Hi Marcia,
Join the bald eagles club!
All of my hair fell out about after the number of treatments with the GAC treatments as yours - it’s the abraxane. I’m still trying to find a good wig - I’ve been through 3 already and don’t really like them so I wear cute knitted caps as I’m on round 8 maybe? I haven’t been counting this go around in stage 4. In stage 2 ( last year) I was on 5FU and I counted every chemo session in anticipation of the final 12th round. As far as I know as long as abraxane is working you won’t have to visit your hairdresser! I try to look at it that I’m saving on those $175 hair styles and helping the environment by not having to buy those disposable plastic razors which just get thrown in trash)!

Hi Marie.
I’m on the same journey as you. Did you have the Whipple? I didn’t because of blood vessel involvement. 12 round folfirnox then 15 radiation treatments. 6 months vacation and now stage 4. In only getting two chemos this time. Gem and abrax.
