What can anyone tell me about cyclophosphamide (cytoxan)? Do you lose your hair?

How long did you take cytoxan and what was your dose? I just started 500mg BID, I am expected to be on it for the next 18 months. I am trying to prepare myself for the possible hair loss, but would like to know what others experienced.

Hey kiddo, I am glad you are going ahead with the treatment.  Here is a site from John Hopkins that has a lot of info about that drug.  Yes, you can lose your hair or it can only thin a little.  I guess it is different with everybody.  I was fixing to call you but can't find my phone charger and don't have a landline.  I will call later after I get a new charger.  Take care sweetie.  We ALL love you.
