@margot- I thought that all chemo caused hair loss so my friend came to my house to give me a buzz cut. But just before she plugged in the "buzzer" she asked me if I was sure that I would lose my hair. She had me call the infusion nurse and I learned that the chemo that I would get would not necessarily cause hair loss. Margot- I was seconds away from losing my very long, thick hair! I only experienced hair thinning, not that anyone would have noticed because of all my hair.
Before each chemo session I put make-up on and dressed nicely, even if I had jeans on! It was a small thing, I know, but it made me feel human for a bit!
