Hi,

In all likelihood you will lose your hair. If you are a female, you may want to begin making arrangements for a wig/head cover before you start so it is handy when the hair starts to come out. Most people, once the hair starts falling out, go for a buzz cut because it can be very annoying and itchy.

I wish you the very best of luck with your treatment and I'm so sorry that you even have to do this.

Hugs,
PBJ
