Contact your doctor or nurse if you feel that you are not managing your emotions well or if they are affecting your daily activities. Chemotherapy and radiation can kill not only cancer cells but also normal cells, especially fast-growing cells like those in hair follicles. The hair may become thinner or completely fall out. Hair may fall out a little at a time or in clumps, usually after 1 - 3 treatments. Any hair left may become dull and dry.
Hair usually grows back when treatments are over or even before.
It may grow back a different color or texture. Use low heat when drying your hair. Don't use brush rollers. Don't dye your hair or get a permanent. Hair loss will be easier to manage if your hair is short.
