Don't give up. Continue to work with your doctor and nurse to find the drug or drug combination that works best for you. Your doctor or nurse can tell you whether hair loss is likely to occur with the drug or drugs you are taking. When hair loss does occur, the hair may become thinner or may fall out entirely. The hair usually grows back after the treatments are over.
Some people even start to get their hair back while they are still having treatments.
In some cases, hair may grow back in a different color or texture. On average hair starts to fall out three weeks after your first treatment. Hair loss can occur on all parts of the body, not just the head. Facial hair, arms and leg hair, underarm hair, pubic hair all may be affected. Some people who lose all or most of their hair choose to wear turbans, scarves, caps, wigs, or hairpieces.
