When my daughter started chemotherapy at age 8 said, I will lose her hair just around 14 days of chemotherapy. In fact, the fourteenth year, he awoke in his hospital room and saw her, and no hair on the pillow. We were told it would be in the coming days will fall and had a stylist and get cut short, at the request of my daughter. Well, it was very, very thin, but not completely. I am afraid the same thing, maybe the chemotherapy was not strong enough.
Without giving details of unnecessarily alarmed, we have a particularly bad reactions to hear, and 98 days of deep neutropenia (a record for an ...), that the chemotherapy was, in fact, is strong enough, there is only one change in the Hair loss from chemotherapy. There are people who have never lost everything. For my daughter, there are about three months (for the fifth course of chemotherapy), lost all her eyelashes, eyebrows, everything .. This was not, however, (the "strong" round of chemotherapy, even when she was in a very aggressive treatment, someare new and almost unknown, because the leukemia in particular, that "not in children).
Do not try to let the loss of hair (or lack thereof) to ensure that no indicator of the efficacy of chemotherapy.
Take care of yourself, so it is absolutely a nightmare to find himself in an array. Best wishes for your child.
