Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Hi Sandy, Mine started to fall out in a few strands at a time 2 weeks after chemo, then in came out in clumps 2 days before my next chemo which was 3 weeks to the day from the last. I still have some hair left, but my grandbabies have more then I do...LOL, I still loose strands a little at a time and it has been 1 week and 2 day since my 2nd treatment, A/C. Hope this helps, everyone is different. Take care, Jolene what's the norm for hair fall-out how soon after first chemo treatment??

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Sandi, I think the majority of us lose our hair right after the 2nd chemo. It starts getting " loose " and falling out a bit toward the end of the 1st chemo. Mine gave up and jumped off my head right after that 2nd dose. (Actually, once I began to seriously shed, I shaved it ). Good luck, Ann Chemo Hats: www.cjhats.com --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Sandy, Looks like we are close to the same time for our cemos. I had my first treatment this last Tues. I thought I was lucking out with no side effects,,,,Wrong..lol By weds evening I started feeling bad by Thurs, I was hurting all over and was so fatigued didn't even have the energy to Chew!!! Friday I still had the fatigue,,,,Sat fatigue was getting better but had terrible headache,,,Sat still had headache and had taken all the tynol I could so my hubby called the Doctor and they ask me if I had any pain medication left over from m;y surgerys which I did, They told me to take those, Which I did and that sure helped, This is Sunday now,,,,no headache and I almost feel back to normal. I was also wondering when the hair would start to go, I think everyone is different. I keep hoping I will be one of the lucky ones and not lose it!!!!! We can always hope right?.....lol My next treatment is July 3rd, Al ready dreading it, Steph _____ From: breastcancer2 [mailto:breastcancer2 ] On Behalf Of Winter Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 9:15 PM To: breastcancer2 Subject: what's the norm for hair fall-out how soon after first chemo treatment??

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Everyone is different when it comes to losing or not losing their hair... That was the hardest part of being diagnosed with BC for me.. I knew I would lose my hair ,but when it came out in clumps 10 days after my 1st chemo, that's when it all hit me. This time around, I was better prepared for it. In fact I lost my hair this morning...(Happy Anniversary to Me!!) This bothers my hubby...he can handle when I cry, but he doesn't deal with me being calm about it. The American Cancer Society has a program for women going through cancer called " Every Woman Matters " . It is free and helps women affected by cancer feel good about their apperance. The will help you style you wig, learn new ways to wear scarfs,hats,etc. and they provide you with free make-up and show you how best to apply it. Plus it is very comforting to be with others who need that little extra something to make them feel better about themselves. Hope this info helps a little.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I think it was a few day after my second treatment that my hair started coming out. I remember the day. I was at work and as I ran my fingers through my hair a whole handfull came out. It was pretty tramatic for me. I had to leave work for the rest of the day. I think by the end of the week it was gone. and I started waring my wig right away. good luck sweetheart and hang in there. It does grow back.tt Me wrote: Hey Sandy, you are getting my frist post on here About 3 weeks for me.
