LuisaCastro,
Hi! I had 6 treatments of RCHOP chemo for my DLBCL. I was told I would absolutely lose my hair with RCHOP. Which I did. But, it's grown back now. I figured when I lost my hair that the chemo must be working! Kelly

My Oncologist informed me that many of today's Lymphoma treatments will not result in hair loss, so no need to invest in a new wig, unless you wish to. I would ask your oncologist about what the side effects of your treatment will be.
Good luck and be well.

No, I had Bendamustine and Ritumax treatment and it did not cause hair loss (as told before). I noticed some thinning but not noticeable to others much.
