One of the most difficult aspects of chemotherapy is having to deal with hair loss. Hair loss is the most common side effects of chemotherapy treatment and for a woman, this can be a traumatic thing to deal with. You may not think you hair is all that great or important. But, when you are faced with losing it, you realized just how attached to it you truly are. And in our society which is so obsessed with beauty, this can be a huge thing to face.

Whether or not you will lose your hair during chemotherapy treatments will depend on your hair type and the medications you are are given by your physician. Typically the doctor can tell you in advance it they think you will loose all of your hair.
Chemotherapy drugs are very powerful and patients often experience severe side effects. The most common side effect is complete hair loss. Yes I said complete, it’s not just the hair on the head but the eyebrows, lashes, etc. In many cases radiation is being administered in addition to the chemotherapy and this combination will almost certainly end up killing the hair.
