I lost most of my hair (I had Cisplatin as well) but has grown back very soft and curly. Until it grew back, I spent the winter wearing berets. I had all different colors to match different outfits. Losing your hair isn't the worse thing that can happen, evn though it seems to add insult to injury. If having the chemo has kept the cancer away, losing my hair was a small price to pay!
