Colleen Shares If She Lost Her Hair During Chemotherapy (VIDEO)

Colleen:
Oh I did, two weeks, two and a half weeks after I started my Taxol treatment, I lost my hair and prior to losing all of my hair, instead of paying a plumber a lot of money, I decided just that it would be best that I shave it off myself. So I have four daughters, I think I mentioned that, and they came over one night, happened to be my birthday, and I got all kinds of great looks. We did everything from a Mohawk to all kinds of things with my hair. I really felt good about it. We had a great time that night and shaved my head off, and I am getting some of my hair back now, but then it falls out with each and every treatment that I am receiving at this point in time. So I will keep it shaved for a while.
