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

- My eyebrows sadly never grew back after chemo. I spent a year drawing them in with a pencil ( followed a youtube lesson), but then I took the plunge and had them tattooed in Vietnam a couple of years ago and I LOVE them!
- I had a cut shorter than Annie's in my early 20s but I was young and gorgeous (comparatively, to now) then! And, oh! for some eyebrows!
