Hi Nick
I totally get what you are going through. I had always been known for my luscious head of hair, so, as I knew it was going to come out, and I dreaded finding hair on my pillow, I decided to have my head shaved two months before my transplant in 2017. I didn’t find it at all distressing as I immediately had a very good quality wig fitted (I am female by the way)
I also had a variety of turbans for when I didn’t want to wear my wig, but I don’t think this is a path you want to follow.
All I can say is, involve your family and friends in whatever you decide to do.
Always remember, your hair will grow back after about six months, and it is fashionable these days for men to have shaved heads!!
I wish you all the very best success with your treatment.

Hi Karl
So sorry you are suffering these side effects. I don’t recall it happening to me although i did have fatigue for quite a time after my transplant (July, 2017) and in fact although I feel really well with remission coming up to 4 years I still get weary when I do any physical work.

Hi jbal
I only suffered from constipation once and when I had my stem cells harvested the nurse recommended a product called Movicol. I took the recommended dose and sat on the toilet for a few hours that night and when I weighed myself the next morning had lost 3 pounds in weight!! All I can say is be careful what you take to sort out the constipation. I wish you well in the future.
