Hair loss
I've only just joined so hopefully it will help me a lot. I finished my Chemo in January 2010 & within a month my hair started to come thru..not thick but at least it was coming back. In the last 2mo...

Well it sounds like we are on the same time line with our hair.I didn't complete all my chemo rounds because I ended up in hospital isolation with no white cells.My oncologist thought Taxotere was "too strong"for me and wanted to swap me over.I decided to stop it and he was ok about it so long as I took Tamoxifen.I didn't have lymph node involvement and body scans clear so I weighed it up and felt that anymore chemo might do more damage than good. So I guess that's why I didn't get any peripheral problems.After I stopped I was completely bald for 2mths and my oncologist then informed me that Taxotere was a lot "harder"on your hair follicles-wish I'd known that beforehand! The slow hair growth made me quite depressed .Like you,8mths on and all I've got is grey curly fluff about 2cms in length.I am soooo over hearing comments about my hair and how it's coming in different bla bla. Next week I'm going to get a colour and cut and hope it doesn't fall out!Good luck with your hair woes.
