prays
I will be praying for you one that you don't have alot of side effects and two that you will be in remission right away. Have fun wig shopping I have three wigs one is like my hair before I lost it mediem blound and at my shoulders, second one is long curly light blound my mom calls it my Dolly Parton wig lol, and third one is a short and spunky redish blound wig for my wild side lol. That way when I want to change it up I can so have fun with it and try on some that you would have never thought you would like you might find it to very fun.

Good Luck!
I hope you have a quick response and a long remission. How long was your first remission? My wife is starting on Carbo and Gemzar for her first recurrence after a year of remission. No Taxol based chemo for her since her tumors grew in spite being on a Taxol maintenance regimen. -

Thanks Lmm. My first remission was 21 months and my second remission was 5 years. Good luck to your wife with the Carbo/Gemzar! -

Thanks Anne. The side effects do sound harsh when they go over every "possible" scenario. I've heard there is a minority of people who permanently lose their hair after Taxotere and fingernails can be a problem. I've done my research so I'm prepared.
