My treatment was similar, I did have hair loss. I took the anti nausea meds regularly. This is my five year mark. Dr. said I am clear, consider in permanent remission (cured). I was 65 when diagnosed. Good luck
Yes to hair loss.
Male 80 sigmoid-rectal tumor. Five weeks (25 treatments) of radiation, two more weeks (10 treatments) of radiation for age-related prostrate cancer. Next, one month off, then six two week cycles of infusion chemo with attached pump for three days each cycle.
Along about the third chemo cycle, experienced extreme weakness/dizzeness - still not recovered. At fifth chemo cycle, my hair stopped growing and began shedding - thinning but not completly gone. Just finished sixth chemo cycle and am scheduled to go in for CT Scan and MRI to learn status of sigmoid-rectal tumor and prostate cancer in a month.
