Hi
Please could anyone who had Docetaxel tell me how long it was after your last treatment before your hair started to grow back. Also, how quickly did it grow.
Many thanks
Louise
Hello,
I went on to have radiotherapy straight after my Taxotere and I was astonished by the number of ladies whose hair had already began to grow. Mine didn't start for about another eight weeks.......One or two told me their hair was growing as soon as they finished the FEC.
So I'm afraid to say, just as the side effects from chemo are so individual....hair regrowth is individual too.
However, now several years on, I don't know anyone whose hair isn't back exactly as they want it to be.
Hope your hair grows sooner rather than later. I'm sure it will.
Love Karen
Hi....I had last T beginning of January and I had enough fuzz by end April to look as if I had had trendy crop! I now have a good couple of inches of curls. My lashes grew back first and I only have patchy eyebrows!
It felt really slow at the beginning but having some lashes early on was fab!
