Hair Loss is not always temporary

I had Adriamycin, Cyclophosphomide, four rounds, then Docetaxel four rounds and Herceptin for twelve months.  It seems that the Docetaxel is the big problem.  I wish I'd never had it.  It destroyed me.  Others who had taxol don't seem to have experienced the same problems.  Docetaxel (Taxotere) is different from Taxol and it causes these horrible problems in a small percentage of people.  My terrible radiation burns were put down to this chemotherapy and its effects on my skin, plus I had terrible skin issues during the rounds.  I spent a lot of time during those three months just lying in a hot spa trying to deal with the pain.  For me, it was a ghastly medication.  It's now eighteen months since my last dose and I've been failing at hair growth all that time.  All my breast cancer friends grew their hair back, just not me.  I don't even fit in with those ladies any more.
