My hair has started growing heaps & I haven’t finished chemo yet (TC). Anyone else out there have that happen?

    Hair does grow in between cycles. We all react differently; sounds like you have very strong cell regrowth. Go your scalp!

    @kmakm I look in the mirror every morning hoping it’s still there. I’m guessing there’s a chance I could lose it again. Go my scalp!!

    My hair started growing back during Taxol, not a lot but very definitely there. And it didn't drop off again! Good luck.

    My hair grew back on taxol except for some male pattern recession at the front but was completely white! I rather liked it. Colour came back in after chemo finished but more intense after I went on multivitamins a few months after  all finished.
