Hi KatieT,
I had Docitaxel and it took 10 weeks before I saw any hair begin to sprout.I was beside myself and I stumbled across a group of ladies in USA on the Internet called taxotears (I think) and they had been left bald from this chemo. They were trying to get a lawsuit against the drug company.Anyway, my hair finally grew back and I was so relieved but I can understand your distress.We shouldn't have to suffer permanent baldness,it's not right.After I'd been on Tamoxifen for 4 years my hair started falling out and I freaked out and stopped it. Apparently 25% of women will suffer hair thinning but no doctor mentioned this to me.I really feel for you and hope that,in time,your hair might improve. Tonya xx
