My first wave of chemotherapy began Monday, 10/18. However, my hair didn't come loose until about two weeks later. I ignored the falling strands for about 3 more days, but eventually got to a point where I was trailing hair like a shedding siberian husky on a 100 degree summer day.

One night, on 11/3, I had to do it. I plucked it all out, hair by hair (including my beard). I did stop to take a few pictures (taken by myself, so please forgive the quality):

   

   

Notice the "baby fuzz" hair that I was left with. This light-blonde hair would not pull out, and it had to be sheered in order to get rid of the 80-yaer-old man look you see here.
