How long does it take before you start losing hair from chemo?

I never did lose my hair. It thinned out a great deal tho.

Did 5 rounds of Carbo/Taxol a week apart and never lost a strand of hair. Good luck to you.

I’m doing folfox and have had 2 treatments so far

Same here - although I didn't have all that much to lose in the first place.

Yes thinned a lot…..chemo hair but hair. All came back nicely.

My hair only thinned out, I didn’t lose it.

Mine thinned out and it looked so weird I had it shaved at about 1/8 in.

My husband has/had esophageal/ the tumor has shrunk but he was to weak for surgery- they have him on immunotherapy now / his last scan and pet scan showed a new mass in his lung- also new nodules- he has a lung biopsey scheduled for next week-

I finish radiation treatment next week and just had 3rd chemo teeatment

My oncologist always mentions " hair loss" with treatment but leaves out.. life threatening infections, nerve damage, breathing issues as possible side effects. Focus on health not hair
