That can be so exhausting. oh..and way to go with the quilt!! it's beautiful!!<br />xo<br />sarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185999121957998644.post-76673645401341029392011-09-12T11:24:52.755-04:002011-09-12T11:24:52.755-04:00I don't have a personal experience for me, but...I don't have a personal experience for me, but Dad's hair started to fall out around 3.5 weeks after chemo started... And he felt okay the first couple of weeks but then the chemo and radiation hit him pretty hard and he was tired and not up to parties or going out after that so much. He can definitely still rally for a party, but he is pooped after just a bit of interaction etc. Hope that helps a bit in your planning!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728390023664791871noreply@blogger.com
