Hi all

ive just finished EC and am moving on to weekly paclitaxil in 2 weeks. Just wondering whether anyone experienced hair regrowth on the pacli? 

I’ve heard it’s possible but would love to hear some real life stories please. 

  • Hi  

    Yes, my hair started to grow back during the last few weeks of my paclitaxel treatment after having lost it soon after starting EC.

  • Hi, I also had 4 cycles of EC followed by 4 cycles of Paclitaxel and my hair started growing back before the end of the Paclitaxel. That was back at the beginning of June and I now have around an inch and a half of hair. Hope your treatment goes well x

  • Daughter's hair started to grow on this regime. She had lost it all with EC. It grew very slowly and was just 'fuzz' for quite a while, which she had to keep having clipped very short. 

    A year on, she's just had her two inches of thick, real hair styled properly for the first time - and coloured! It's given her such a lift - she's had three surgeries, radiotherapy and is back on a further year of chemo.

    Very best of luck, you'll get there. xxx
