Did your hair or nails start growing before taxotere treatment was over?

I've had 4 A/C treatments and tomorrow will be my 4th and last taxotere treatment. My hair started growing back a few weeks ago, along with my nails....Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks Renee

    absolutely
    I never lost my nails but my hair was growing back during the Tax. I had my last treatment the day before Thanksgiving - celebrated Christmas without my wig or hat - have had my hair cut twice since then.

    I did not lose my nails, but
    my hair did not grow back right away. I was on 6 rounds of TAC though--so that may be the difference. I think I had stubble about a couple of weeks after treatment was done.

    Hugs, Renee

    should have clarified
    I had the same course of treatment - 4 rounds of a/c cocktail then 4 of Taxatere.

    FEC and then Taxotere
    And yes my hair started coming in during treatment. I massaged my head every night with olive oil good luck it'll come in soft like baby hair. hugs MOLLYZ
