Hair growth

Hi  

I wondered this too. I finished 4 rounds of EC on Thursday and will be starting Paclitaxel next week- fortnightly for 4 sessions.

I’ve heard it’s less harsh on the hair and less nausea, but more bone pain?

I’ve heard hair can start regrowing on the taxel?

I’ll be grateful if it even stops shedding for me - the worst bit of this journey I’ve found.

Although it’s lovely not shaving legs, arms and menopause moustache!

Yeah I had my first Docetaxil on Thursday and every joint is aching but defo less nausea. Hope the hair growth continues xx

Can they give you anything with that to help?

Will it go once Chemo has finished? X

Yes the bone pain is because of Docetaxil (and in my opinion the Filgrastim injections required fir 7 days after chemo).  They recommend heat pads, paracetamol and Brufen.
