Hi Louise,
I lost all my head hair,all pubic hair,most of underarm,about half my eyelashes and eyebrows and leg hair.Would you believe it -the first hairs to reappear were the few whiskers on my chin!! I think Taxatore is hard on your system.I had a bad headache with it for over a week,nausea was tolerable,aweful joint pains and my neutriphils dropped too low.But everyone is different and so is all chemo.My eyelashes and eyebrows came back after about 2mths-pubes and head hair now returning(almost 4mths).I ordered alot of nice head"stuff"from USA- www.headcovers.com. Their caps/hats are good.I found my wig too irritating so only wear it for special outings.I've really only got 3 looks at the moment:-thewasher woman,the gypsy and the sailor girl! You have to dress from the head down.
I hope you manage Taxatore better than me.I'll be thinking of you.
