Hi P. 10 months after my chemo finished and I also have very thin, patchy hair and am too embarrassed to go out in public without wearing my hat. I am also upset that my oncologist gave me no information regarding potential side effects of the chemo drugs on hair regrowth.

Perhaps we could contact their professional network as a part of this network? I was also on docetaxol and had 6 rounds as I had a very aggressive HER2 cancer. Not sure whether the additional 2 rounds have caused the hair regrowth problem.
Does anyone know how to stimulate hair growth? My oncologist suggested using 'soft' hair products like baby shampoo, dermaveen, moogoo or aveeno. (I already use these products as I have a sensitive scalp and psoriasis)
