-- Re: HAIR QUESTION

Hi, Trisha -> Is 18 days the norm? Or is there a norm with A/C? My daughter is going> to shave my head but she travels a lot and I don't want to be caught witha> half head of ratty hair. When does anyone suggest I let her at me withthe> scissors and shaver?? I am 6 days into the A/C and no signs of fall> out yet. Just lifeless and dull hair now.I don't know if there's a norm. My chemo nurse told me my hair wouldprobably be going by 21 days after the first Taxol, and it was - justbeginning to go thin and patchy, horrible! It came out in handfuls,especially in the shower. 8-( My daughter came and used clippers to cut itvery short, at about day 35, and then I felt better. It still fell out butit was only short lengths then.And after the Taxol finished in November, I stayed bald for a few weeks, butby New Year I had a faint haze over my scalp, and now there's lots more -still short, but thick and shiny. Enough to be scruffy if I sleep on it thewrong way. 8-)If you do get caught with "a half head of ratty hair", you can get somegreat hats or scarves to cover up with!Love,Margery.============================================ margery@... in North Herts, UK ============================================
