Will I lose my hair

Will I lose my hair with the chemo that I will be given for lymphoma or do different chemo treatments have different effects on the body including hair loss? Just trying to see what i need to expect. Thank you. Brett

With some chemos you will and with some you will not. Which treatment regiment are you going on?

Depending on what you are on, some may promote total hair loss, some will thin the hair, and some may not have any effect at all. Completely depends on the drug(s) and your reaction to them. Sorry it cannot be more decisive, but everyone is different.
