- melclarityMemberI was on FEC so I lost all my hair about day 8-10 after first infusion, I lost EVERY SINGLE HAIR on my body LOL was great in some aspects haha!!
- Lmc1310MemberLost a lot of hair after 2nd of 4 x three weekly a/c. Started to grow back straightaway after a/c and 5 week break before taxol. Still growing after 4th of 12 x weekly taxol. It is now very soft rather than feeling like a beard. Happy that hair is growing back but oncologist says it will fall out again. Feeling very tired with Taxol and WBC count low. Best wishes to you all
- Mrs_H1Member@LMK74 I'm excited for the armpit hairs to fall out. Hate shaving those little buggers as I always miss some (haven't shaved since Chemo and woah!). Silver lining that I will take. Jen.
- LMK74MemberMrs H, the only good thing about chemo is losing the bikini hair lol. Wish it was permanent.
- GlemmisMemberIt was day 14 for me too with a very sensitive head before that. Now it is coming back very slowly, all other body hair back to normal! I finished chemo 3 months ago.
- Mrs_H1MemberI'm day 2 of round 2 of dense dose AC (once a fortnight for 8 weeks). So far the hair on my head is still there with no changes, thinning, etc. I expect this will change soon. I have noticed my downstairs hair is starting to come out easily though. Here's hoping I don't confuse it with the dog hair continuously dropped around the house (black kelpie cross). Awkward much!
- KatherineHMember@lgray3911 I just had quite a bit coming out :(
Day 14 for me! - lgray3911MemberKatherineH it was Day 14 for me after 1st round of AC. Talk to your oncologist about the nausea. I had it pretty bad round one and he changed my meds and had zero nausea for the next 2. I have my last one on the 6th of June and then start weeklies. Nausea can be prevented so get them to give you better drugs xx
- primekMemberDay 17 on AC for me...it came out really suddenly
- KatherineHMember@LMK74 all the best. It's just such a shitty thing but we will get through it
