You will probably be given Cisplatin and that will not cause you to loose you hair. Now that said, you do need to understand that you do not have a bad case of the flu. What you do have is a cancer that will kill you as in dead if it's not treated aggressively. So stop worrying about small stuff and get on board with killing this cancer before it kills you.
