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

- So much excitement on the weekend... I noticed that my eyebrows didn't completely wash off! That means they're growing back! Yippeeee!!!! Okay, so you have to look closely and it's only the slightest shadow but it's THERE.
- @kmakm it's just the hair growing at the moment, mind you I haven't measured my nose recently! :smiley:
- @Vangirl Won't be long!
- @kmakm it was already growing that whitish bum fluff during the final weeks of chemo. Now I have some darker, coarser hairs just starting to peek through (hard to see in the photo but when I hold a bright light to my head I can see something, I'm sure of it!)
- Is it growing while you're doing radiotherapy @Vangirl?
- Turnip head :neutral:
