I found out my colon cancer as migrated to my Rt lung. I was previously on Folfox, and on Folfiri and just completed my 3rd cycle. When did people start noticing hair loss or thinning? Folfox my hair just thinned

    Hi I believe folfox is harsher than folfirinox due to oxaliplatin. Your hair will become softer, weaker during the treatment but it often comes back once finished. My thinning started somehow late and I lost 20% of my hair, pretty much all of it came back. You can reduce using a shampoo perhaps, it helped me.

    Sorry for the metastase…
