Hair loss

Posted by myjiggers1 @myjiggers1, 3 days ago

How much hair should I expect to lose on Folfiri. My oncologist team just keep saying it will thin and leave it open ended. Its my second treatment and it seems like I have lost a handful already

Thank you! I hope it just thins like the folfox did for me, but I have this feeling I will be losing lots more…. I will try to find the positive in this….
