Congratulations! What a milestone and a relief! So happy for you!
My Oncologist says it takes as long to get over the s/e as it does to get them or to figure double the time to recover. Hmmm...so does that mean if it only took about 14 days to lose our hair, that it will grow back in 28 days? I've heard of some going ALOT longer, so don't know if that's true for everyone. I'm hoping to see new sprouts soon though!

It Is Doable!
Congratulations on completing chemo. You are well on your way. This is no cake walk but we can get thru it and do it! Let me know when the hair comes back. I just finished my 3rd chemo, have 5 more to go. Hair has been gone for a while, but it is a nice vacation from blow dryers and flat irons.0 -

That is wonderful news, just in time for the weekend to celebrate! I am sooo happy for you, enjoy this moment you most certainly deserve it!
You are done with one hurtle.
Hair coming back is different for everyone. Mine started to come back a month or so before I finished Taxol.

My one, only and last taxol was on 10/7. My hair started to come in then my head peeled and it all come out again now it's about 1/16 of an inch now and baby soft. I'm still loosing my eyelashes and eyebrows. I started herceptin on 11/4 and start rads on 11/23.
So glad we're done with the chemo!

Yea!
Oh, Kathy, I am so happy for you. You made it! It was an especially wretched time, I know,but you did it. My doc told me that 50% of all cancer patients do not complete as much as 85% of the scheduled treatment. You're celebrating 100%!
Don't know about taxol and hair. Mine started growing back during rads.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful news. I lost track of your treatments--seemed like they were going on forever, even to me. All done now!0 -
woo hoo Kat!
always good to get the chemo behind us huh? And yes, the first thing on our minds is our hair. Mine started growing back during Taxol, and I had quite a bit by the time I finished rads.
Congrats on finishing and soon, Kat, soon, the hair will come.

You have proven to be a strong warrior! So glad Chemo is now part of your past! I'm sure soon, when your hair comes in, you will look back and it won't have seemed that long waiting on it! ♥Pammy0 -

Congratulations - maybe you can sneak in another trip to Green Lake before the glaciers come down from Canada for the winter!0 -
Your hair will start coming
Your hair will start coming in any time now! You will soon notice newborn baby fuzz and you will catch yourself rubbing your head all day long with a silly grin on your face~ it will then progress to baby chick, then to chia pet, then to finger in light-socket and then FINALLY! a semblance of what your pre-Beast killing chemo hair was like! Whoooooo hoooooo! Congrats on your milestone~ something to be thankful for!

congrats
Congratulations. I now how relieved you feel because I just finished with my chemo three weeks ago and have been on cloud 9 ever since. I do have fuzz coming out. Hope it comes out quick due to cold weather coming in. I wear scarves not a wig. Can't wait to put them up and maybe wear some with outfits for work. Again congrats.0 -
Congratulations! I'm so
Congratulations! I'm so happy this came in time for you to enjoy the holiday season in full. I look forward to reading your posts about how quickly your hair grows back, etc. Keep the information flowing... Those of us who are right behind you are hanging on every word. Best wishes, Pitt0
