Hair Growing Back
Hi All,
I am on my last paclitaxel chemo next week and staring to look beyond the chemo bad ass.
I am just completing 8 courses of dose dense chemo - 4 xAC, 4x Paclitaxel and am wondering how long it took for others to grow their hair back. I know this is assuming it has grown back sufficiently, as some women are unlucky with hair regrowth.
Just hoping you can share you experiences of when your hair grew back enough to actually feel like you had enough to do something with and any changes in your hair regrowth from before chemo.
Many thanks,
Jo

@"Kiwi Angel" Your fur nurse is beautiful.
My third cycle was the worst. SO much harder than the first two. Hang in there, you're almost done. K xox - is your fur baby a blue russian ?
- hi Kiwi Angel and Kmakm yes ladies rads to the left armpit and chest wall.... and the undercarriage will change as your body rids itself of the chemo effects took me about 2yrs before I had my natural colour in the undercarriage.
- Im surprised any hair has grown back in the middle of chemo - I wonder if these with little white things will fall out and come back again. Gonna be a surprise. @kmakm am finally feeling back to myself today after taking an extra day off. The 3rd dose has sucked and I think @Finch has been struggling too. I think my fur nurse has a lot to do with my recovery.
- @Joannie - Chinese hamster ovaries - the things u learn :open_mouth:
- @Joannie You have to marvel at the brains that make lateral leaps like that. Superb.
