Eribulin - Hair Loss?

My mom has been prescribed a different chemo Eribulin, as yet we don’t know the dose but it will be treatment on day 1 and 8 with week 3 off. My mom previously lost her hair on a different chemo drug and is really apprehensive about the thought of loosing it again. Just wondering what experiences others have had on this drug and loosing their hair? 

Thanks in advance 

  • Hi  

    I noted nobody had picked up this message yet and my replying will bump it up to the top of the list. No experience of Eribulin with my wife's cancer since she had doxyrubicin and gemcatabine. She lost her hair with the first but then it grew back and did not lose with the second.

    I did do a quick search on the forum for Eribulin that you can see here - seems like most posts are some months ago.

    Something that I hear some really good reports about are a charity look good feel better I wonder if that might be helpful.
