I had very little hair loss at first then after my 3rd chemo a few strands at a time. After round 5 it began to fill my brush. I decided to get a buzz cut. I had Whipple surgery then 6 more chemo treatments. My PC was dx as stage one and 1yr after my last chemo my hair has grown over 4 inches. I believe hair loss would be determined by the dose of chemo received. I only had treatments for 1 hr every 2 weeks so you may see different results. I suggest as short of a cut that you are comfortable with.

@baravelli Mine actually did start falling out after the 3rd treatment. I had it cut really short and the next day buzzed it down, because hair kept falling out everywhere and was just annoying. I was able to get a couple of wigs free from a cancer support organization. That's really helpful.
