i did taxol first
all my hair fell out and then a very fine layer of little white hairs grew in. Stayed that way thru A/C and then when I took avastin it started to slowly grow.0 -
I had 4 A/C then 2 weeks til
I had 4 A/C then 2 weeks til surgery and 3 weeks til weekly Taxol, then the next week started 5 weeks of Rads. - Never got any hair back during any of it. About 3 months after last Rad, I had just enough that scalp was dark. A bit over a year out from last Taxol and getting close to last Rad and hair is still short.
We're all so unique.

your hair once chemo settles into your system. All hair. There is no question about it, this is devastating - but bearable. Protect your scalp from cold, with soft wool knit caps, and sunscreen -- during the winter as well.
T-Gel from neutrogena is a good shampoo to use -- it keeps hair follicles clear of any build up, debris and sweat.
Strength and Courage,

I always had a little stubble. it didnt grow on chemo, but this last part did not fall out. I was not totally smooth if I ran my hand over it, but looked it. I have heard of people having hair grow back during chemo. I lost my lashes and eyebrows during taxol. and afterward, lost them again. even now a year later the lashes grow in then are uneven. like they dont know what to do. but at least I have them.0
