@heathermcfarland Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, and my sincere thanks for sharing your story. We each have our own journey of health, and it is always educational for me to hear what others have experienced!

Is there anything that you discovered/realized that you wish you had known more about before you got into the meat of the ordeal?

One thing that I didn't realize, not having been around cancer before, was that hair doesn't all fall out evenly. Everyone is different and chemo drugs are different. I didn't lose my eyebrows and the hair on my head fell out in patches. I looked like I had continents of hair on my head. I was glad I chose to shave it ahead of the transplant.
