When my hair fell out

I recently found out that I have pancreatic cancer and as a result have started chemotherapy. My first session went fine with no real problems. I was sick as a dog but it wasn't the chemo causing me problems, it was the pain killers I was on. The second chemo session also came and went without much fuss until a few days later and I noticed a few hairs floating around after rubbing my head. No problem. A little while later I realize that a slight tug on my hair results in a handful of hair. No problem. I decide to take a shower and as soon as I start to shampoo I am deluged by my own hair. I'm not sure how, my hair is not very long but I have hair everywhere, in my face, my mouth and eyes. I'm hollering for my wife to come help. "I can't see!" I spit hairs and sputter trying to wipe the hair from my tongue and eyes. I finally get to the point that I can see and breath. I clean a small dog worth of hair from the drain cover and get dried off. That's when I decided that I have to cut to the chase and head off the remaining hair by clipping it all off and shaving it bald. Fortunately I don't have a very odd shaped head, have no tattoos, scars or markings that I have to spend hours explaining. I just have to have a hat because it's cold. No problem.
