Well, I am going to give you the stock answer that's no comfort at all. Everyone is different.
I personally have lymphoma and went through 3 cycles of the CHOP+R therapy myself. I was one of the very lucky ones that didnt lose any hair. Which is ironic, because up until that point I was well on my way to balding naturally. I guess the hair I had left were the tough ones. As for a sex drive....it depends on whats causing the loss of drive. I know when I first got diagnosed and especially when I went through my first round of chemo, I felt like I was this diseased piece of meat that NO ONE would want. After talking to some friends in the cancer support group, that went away after a few weeks. And from there, my sex drive went through the roof, still is. Its sort of 'holy crap, this body is sick I gotta procreate NOW NOW NOW' response from my body. The honest answer if its caused chemically is 'When those chemicals/radiotherapies' start leaving your body. It can take a while for the various things they put in you to go away completely.
And I just realized this post was no help to you at all. *slaps forehead*
