Hair loss - how to cope?

I’m 3 weeks into my chemotherapy and whilst I knew I would lose my hair, the reality of it literally falling out f my head and very very quickly has floored me.  Has anyone got any advice for dealing with this?

  • Hi, my hair started falling out during chemotherapy which I really struggled with. I started cutting it shorter in the hope I could still save some of it. A week in, I shaved the rest off as watching it fall out was much more harder for me then shaving it. I ordered some bandana hats off amazon which were amazing. They provided so much comfort and I didn't feel as conscious with them on. 

    My advice is shave it as watching it slowly falling out is much harder.

  • Hi A_R_0809 - thank you for responding - yes struggling with it and everyday/week my hair seems different! I am coming round to shaving off or at least cutting it down really short and get a wig made up to suit my face. Thank you for responding. x
