Hello: I will start this treatment in two weeks. I read one post from a woman who indicated she did not lose her hair after 4 months of treatment (4 individual treatments). Has anyone else been this fortunate?

HI Switte,

Welcome to the group. Sorry you are here, but glad you found us. I also had 4 rounds of T/C. I cut my hair really short before I started. My oncologist told me that I would lose all my hair by my second treatment. So before that I had my head buzzed. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't lose my hair on my head. My oncologist said 99% do. Everyone is different. Good luck.

Remember we are here if you have any questions or just need support or to vent.

xoxo,
Jean

Losing my hair

I had Taxotere, Cytoxan AND Adriamycin and lost my hair about 2 weeks into the first session. People are going to think I am weird but not having hair was really exhilarating for me! Not sure how much of the hair loss can be attriobuted to the Adriamycin, but I lost everything before it was all over with, including my eyelashes and eyebrows!
