Hair growth
Afternoon all,
I guess this has been asked before and I have attempted to search so please indulge me.
I am up to week 6/12 of paclitaxol. My hair has been growing feverishly since I completed AC 9 weeks ago. I only realised it was growing about 5 weeks ago. Underarm and pubic hair has also made an unfortunate comeback.
The growth is strong ( I yank on it several times per day) and is not patchy ( regular inspections).
Have any of you noted this during your experience?
Here’s to 2018. A much better year.

- Sunshine0206MemberThanks Lucy. Good to know. I was concerned it might fall out again. I’ve been advised this is unlikely but just wanted “real experience”. No cold cap here. Xx
- AnonymousNot applicableHi @Sunshine0206, happy new year. My hair started growing back on Taxol after AC - although I used cold caps for the 6 months. I still lost most of my hair, but the cold caps helped with the regrowth. Body hair started returning on Taxol too. I miss my smooth legs from chemo!
