Hello, Cah60.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with hair loss and that now you find difficult to look in the mirror.

Hopefully other Cancer Chat members who have faced similar problems will be here soon to chat with you and offer advice/suggestions. In the meantime there's this page on hair loss and cancer treatment I wanted to share with you which might be helpful if you feel like having a read.

With best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Cah, I am in tomorrow for my 2nd chemo, but shaved my hair off 4 was ago, really glad I did it, I lost a bit on days 5 to 7, but over the last days about 90% has come off.  Have been so itchy, but was less devastating this way, my hair was really long.  I donated it to the little princess trust.  Another lady I met, told me about  Olaplex, numbers 3 4 and  5, for when it grows back so although expensive, can also get it on Amazon, I will give it a try.  Hope you get through it OK, not the best time but you will be OK xx. All the best for your treatment x

Thank you so much for replying. I think shaving my hair off is definitely the way forward for me now. 

Thanks also for the Oplex recommendation, will give that a try when it starts to grow back.

Wishing you lots of luck xx

You too chick x
