We have had lots of questions about hair loss during this round of treatment. The Rituxan doesn't usually cause complete hairloss like other chemo drugs since we are trying to target a very specific cell line, but with the additions and increase of all his other meds, Max has experienced a bit of hair thinning and loss. He was losing it in his bed and when you ran your fingers through it it would come out, it was also pretty itchy for him so we have been keeping it cut short to keep it from getting too annoying. He has a few bald spots but with his light, fine hair it isn't too noticeable to the general public, it also helps that he is a boy and can sport it well.
