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

- Also went PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness Week.
- Couldn't stand it any longer!! Waxed by sideburns off. Brilliant! Less like a primate - more like a woman!
- 5 months since last I.V. chemo. Still on oral chemo. Very pleased with hair removal.
- @SoldierCrab I am 2.5 months post chemo now......still have furry face. I think it has probably been about 3 weeks since I first noticed said unwanted fuzz face, so I will give it a couple more weeks. Thanks for the heads up!
- Ladies it will actually just settle down if you leave it .... took about month before the downy hair was gone
- No way! Too harsh. An Indian lady did my threading.
- No one seems to do threading anywhere near me and I can't drive for a few weeks yet...should I get it waxed??
- Have just been threaded. Face is a bit tingly but very smooth. It took about half an hour.
