Hi @Tomobun, well done getting through to this stage. It sure is a ride those first few months. I hope you celebrate each milestone.
As you know we all respond differently to the treatments. For me I was scheduled to have 10 rounds of taxol but only did 9 because of peripheral neuropathy.
The oncologist reduced my dose to 90 percent to get me through. My toes still feels numb at night even after 2 yrs. It did improve but this residual is what I am left with.
My hair did get a tiny tiny stubble - hardly what I called growing. My hair started growing about 3 weeks after chemo stopped.
Other than that I was fine and got through it all ok. Best wishes with your treatment.
