Chemotherapy Regimens

My girlfriend just started her first cycle of chemotherapy for his lymphoma non-Hodgkin. Her chemotherapy including doxorubicin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and prednisone. I wondered how long it takes to make him lose his hair. Is one week after starting treatment? A month? Thank you.

It varies a lot from the patient and the dose of chemotherapy. Usually its around the mark one month (3-4 weeks), but sometimes as early as 1-2 weeks. And then some people do not lose hair at all.

Cancer runs high in my family. My grandfather did not lose his hair when he had lung cancer (although he died of cancer), nor my mother when she had a thyroid cancer, and neither my father when he had cancer not lyphoma -Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Haha. Wow two grandparents on the side of my mother, my mother and my father had cancer. Just realized that ...

Anyway, God bless your girlfriend! When she started to lose hair, tell her she is beautiful every day because she could lose the confidence, I saw many people passing by.

When my mother started chemo, it has been about a month.

But it depends on the speed, it becomes each treatment. My mother had all three weeks, which makes hair longer.

I am sure if she would have been every week or so, he would have been spent in a short period of time.

I hope everything goes well with your girlfriend, and she beats him!

Each chemo is different .. depending on the dose ... for me my hair began to fall after the third treatment ..

It's different for everyone, but in my experiences with people I know who have had chemotherapy, he was about 2-3 weeks.
You finish him about your feelings? I'm so happy, how to cope?

I think it takes about 1-3 weeks. I heard people talk about their hair falling in two weeks of chemo. sometimes takes longer. It depends on how it dose.

It seems that those she has on her should expect 1-3 weeks after treatment. My husband lost his 2-3 weeks after a cycle has begun.

My daughter is 14 and the day has lost much, but it is still what looks like a full head of hair.

She vincrisine and prednisone, but his other two are different.

That depends on his own body of each person and also the amounts of the chemo drugs, she will. Good luck to you and her. May God bless you!

Varies between patients and drugs.

Mine was 10 days after each treatment.

That depends on his body and the drug dosage.
