Tina, don't worry about things that may not happen. Although a side effect of chemo treatment can be hair loss, not many of us who received it suffered from total hair loss. Take myself as an example, I bought a wig before treatment because I couldn't allow myself to look a day different from my old self. Yet I was so happy that apart from losing some after hair wash like eveyone, I didn't lose extra due to treatment. Even if a person loses all her hair after chemo, it will grow again in about 4 months' time, usually even looking more beautiful.
