Hair growing back during docetaxel.

I had 2 EC with scalp cooling which only partially worked so I stopped it and got a grade 2. I haven't much new hair, but the hair that never fell out has been growing ever since, through EC3. It's stripy, too - brown, white, brown, white, brown. So weird. I've just had my first cycle of T with Herceptin. Those cause hair-fall too, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Yay for reaching your half-way mark.

Hello lottiejam

I had exactly the same. I had 3 fec then 4 docetaxel with pertuzamab and trastuzumab and indeed my hair started to grow back. I asked my oncologist and he said it wasn't unusual.  Hope that helps

Thanks @Charlieandlola that's good to know, thank you for taking the time to reply, appreciated

Hi RedSquirrelsNutsthanks for your response, my hair doesn't quite look how it looked before either, I am grey and wiry, previously brown. I think I would quite like the stripes. I hope you are doing ok with the treatment. It's amazing how quickly you adjust to being treated and then it seems to pass quicker. It feels doable! Thanks for taking the time to reply. 

Hi Lottiejam, sorry I should have been clearer - it's actually each hair that is striped, not the general effect. It's the strangest thing. But it's definitely growing. My husband keeps remarking on it!
