Congrats on getting ready to treat. As far as hair loss goes, dont worry about it too much. For most people its more an issue of thinning hair, not balding like the effects of chemo. And it does return after treatment ends, so its really more of a temporary inconvience.

There may be some who have had some hair loss or thinning, I don't think it is very frequent. Maybe I'm just lucky or thinning so common at my age, that I don't notice. My advice to folks just starting is to practice "Easy Does It" when it comes to work, family and activites. You don't need to expect yourself to have super powers.
