Yeah, pretty much you can expect it to at least thin, if not most all fall out. The reason is because the chemo drugs kill fast-growing cells first, which include cancer cells and hair follicle cells. It can be the most emotional effect of all the treatments, but don’t let it get you down! I got a wig, no one knew, and before I knew it, my hair was all grown back in. It’s just a very temporary bump in the road! Stay strong, you’ll be fine!
Unfortunately, yes. Prayers out to you
It is different for everybody. Some do and some don’t.
Your doctor should have told you the odds of side effects. I think the odds are high that it happens though. Sorry to hear your news. Hope the biopsy is ok.
Good Luck!

I’m alive today because of it.
I wish you good health
It depends what combination of chemotherapy drugs you have.
Some cause total hair loss, some cause hair thinning, some cause no hair loss at all.
The regime recommended depends on your individual cancer.
Your hair will grow back; sometimes regrowth begins before the course of chemotherapy is over.
Mine did, my sister’s didn’t.
We had different forms of breast cancer and different types of chemotherapy.
Your oncologist will be able to give you more information on the likelihood when discussing your recommended chemotherapy options after the pathology results are available.
Not always. Although it is a common side effect. I really hope everything turns out ok for you.
