hair loss

Mine also fell out on day 17 with Taxol, however Oncologist said, it will thin but not all, feeling quite self conscious! decided to keep going on taxol and hercepton, now hair has gone, 12 weeks seem a short time in the big picture, but hope it grows back soon

    I lost all my hair before  the 2nd AC, 6 months afer and still 1 more chemo to go, my hair has grown to about half am inch.
     I've stopped wearing any head gear as I dont really dont care how I look anymore.
    Its amazing  how many compliments  i get about my head shape and how the short hair suits me. I just don't  like the very grey hair I  have. So I am hoping that will  change in time, i didnt have as many greys as now...but thats life for now.
    Take  care, it will get better...:)

    It does take a few cuts to really get back your true own hair. Mine grew back as gray short curls like wire. I got that cut back short pretty quick and now its got better colour and wavy which is more acceptable to me. I had long straight hair which would never hold a perm in a pink fit! :)
