Hi @FleurDK
I didn't go ahead with the scalp cooling offered when I had my initial four rounds of AC so I lost all my hair but I will say when I switched to the weekly Taxol regime, towards the end of my 12 rounds my hair started to come back, slowly at first but then quite a bit.

Take care and good luck for your last few rounds :)
