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

- oh damn @JJ70 something for me to look forward to....
- @JJ70 That'll be the natural growth cycle. It'll take a while for them to unsync themselves!
- Oh F!! I am still losing clumps of eyelashes!!!
- I'm sad about my eyebrows. I saw a photo of myself before my diagnosis the other day and it gave me a shock to see how seriously depleted they are now. I don't think they'll ever come back to their former glory.
- @sister for me its the eyelashes :-) I have John Howard eyebrows so I kept most of them throughout lol
- I get so excited about my eyebrows
- My arm hair stayed too, or most of it did! Also I am very excited that I have managed to grow two new nose hairs since EOC (end of chemo). Hurrah!!
- @Sister Are you sure you're not a vampire?!
