Interferon is not supposed to cause your hair to fall out the way that conventional Chemo does. The traditional chemo patient story is that one day, after the second or third treatment, all their hair on their entire body falls off in one day.
I had relatively little hair loss up until month two or three, when I started to notice excessive amounts of hair in the drain… *when I didn’t wash my hair!*
I also notice that if i undo a hair band, there is maybe 5x the amount of hair that would normally be there.
And I have noticed I can see my scalp. My hair is *thinning* which is what IFN is known to do.
I told my dad, and he jokingly reminded me that this was about when he started to go bald. But we have different mother’s fathers, and my mother’s father didn’t go bald (to my knowledge), so I have hope.
