Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Dear Larry--if Janet isn't on Irinotecan (CPT-11) her hair may just thin, not drop out altogether. I 'survived' oxaliplatin but two months into CPT-11 started coming out and I panicked. Got a wig but didn't wear it seriously for months. Now I'm finally used to it and I think cold weather a factor--like wearing a nice warm hat. Often a town will have a hairdresser who will restyle wigs that have been donated. Things get to be less important as time goes on too, but it is a wrench to lose hair. (On top of being sick-feeling, in pain.) Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
