Cytoxan-I think my hair is going

[lisade]

Hi All, I have had my third treatment and am due for number 4 this week. Last week my head started itching wildly. I noticed in the shower that I had a good bit of chair in my hands, on my brush, everywhere. My hair is very blonde and it's hard to tell kinda.
Anyway, if you lost your hair did it all come out at once or little at the time or how?? I am just curious because I had rather be better and have no hair than to be as sick as I was before the cytoxan.


Thanks

The first time (12year ago) I had Cytoxan my hair thinned out some, particularly above my forehead, but I didn't lose all of it and it didn't look bad enough to shave it all off. Most of it grew back, but I'm still thin in front.
Just started chemo again last Friday, so we'll see how much hair I got left this time!

I am on cytoxan now and my hair is shedding.. but not that bad. I had my fourth one last week. My hair fell out worse when I had a regular flare up of the lupus a few years ago. I guess it really depends on the person and I guess genetics as to how much hair you lose.

I finished Cytoxan around Easter, and already I look ALOT better! My hair thinned quite a bit, even a bald spot in the back. But its on the road to recovery. Hope I am.
