With all the chemotherapy side effects I have dealt with, I had avoided the dreaded hair loss side effect...until now! It started with my hair thinning. Then while washing my hair one day it started coming out in clumps. The shower looked like someone had just shaved a black Standard Poodle when I was done! It was time to do a preemptive strike and shave my head. So I got out the shaver and Linda proceeded to shave what hair I had left. My scalp hasn't seen the light of day for over 50 years, so at first it was a little shocking and very white! So now I'm rockin' beanies and hats.I keep reminding myself it's only temporary!
