You might not think about how important your hair is until you face losing it. If you have cancer and are about to start chemotherapy, the chance of hair loss is very real. People with cancer report hair loss as one of the side effects they fear most as they face cancer treatment.
Talk to your cancer care team about any fears or concerns you have about losing your hair. Ask about how you can prepare. Planning for hair loss may help you cope with this difficult side effect of treatment.
