Treatment with Carboplatin and Taxane drugs
You truly are a fighter. I can't say enough about your spirit.
I did not take carboplatin (also known as Paraplatin) so I can't offer advice there. I found some great information about it on www.chemocare.com/chemotherapy/drug-info/carboplatin.aspx
There are 2 drugs in the Taxane family - Taxol and Taxotere. I'm not sure which one you are taking. I had 12 rounds of Taxotere. I started losing my hair on Day 14 of the chemo cycle. When it started looking patchy and ridiculous I had my husband shave off the rest of it. I have been told that Day 14 is pretty typical. My hair has grown back, just a bit differently. I know there are a few ladies on this Board (Double Whammy/Suzanne) whose hair did not come back.
Wishing you only good things.
