My main hair loss was facial (not bad in the long run, lol) and the back of my neck, which I guess is permanent. When I wash my hair I still lose small clumps but nothing bad. You sound like an amazing caregiver. Good luck to both of you. I send healing thoughts along. I am just a few weeks ahead. TX ended 3/21. I am starting week three of recovery tomorrow. We will all get through this. -Michelle
