I'm so sorry Katie. I was on FECD, D for Docetaxal, and when I found out 2%, that's one in 50!, of women don't get their hair back I flipped out in the oncologist's office. She told me she'd never heard of such a thing, just not true. The next dose I was back in her office with the research paper but she had looked it up herself. "Yeah, it's 2%", she said. When my hair came back she admitted that she had been worried. So at least there is now one oncoologist in Australia who knows the risks and hopefully is informing women before they start treatment.KatieT said:I'm very glad to hear yours came back. You can feel together and put that behind you.
My treatment was over 16 months ago. It isn't coming back properly. I hope that more women in the future get told that permanent hair loss is a risk of some chemotherapies. Everything on the internet and everything they tell you at hospitals makes you think it's temporary and just something you need to survive and then you go back to being yourself again.
Anyway, I'm really glad things returned to normal for you in the hair department.
