7 weeks post last chemo and I’m still shedding. Is this normal? I even used a cold cap!

Yes. I'm on week 10 of weekly treatments. I have almost no hair, but it is still falling out.

Sadly, yes it will continue for some time after your last treatment, mine finally stopped coming out a couple months after treatment. I didn’t use a cold cap, but mine started growing back after about 3 months. It seemed to take forever, but once it started, it came I pretty quickly, and white and curly. Bozo the clown curly, lol. I had no hair left so it was easy to tell when it started coming in again.
It did straighten out a little but remained pretty white.
Did you shorten your hair before chemo? Have you been wearing a covering like a wig, or scarf?
