I don't have experience with taxotere, I was put on adriamycin and taxol. So my results maybe different from yours. I was told my hair would drasticly thin or come completely out..it came completely out. It started thining like you discribed then it began coming out in clumps. I couldn't handle it. After about 5 days I had it shaved and wore a wig or a scarf. I'm sure others can give you better info on taxotere. On the up side of hair loss, I didn't have to shave my legs for months. And something I thought strange about losing my hair was friends and family wanting to rub my head. Like they would get 3 wishes or somethings.
