I am new to this and have had 4 rounds of EC and just had 4 of 12 Paclataxel. 
Most of my hair fell out in 1st 3 weeks but seems to have come to a standstill. Will it start growing back sooner? 

  • Hi  

    I had the same treatment as you and lost most of my hair in the first few weeks. However, towards the end of the paclitaxel treatment it was growing back.

  • Hi Wave 

    My hair loss journey was different - my hair was patchy and I eventually shaved it off half way through chemo as it looked so awful. It then seemed to come to a standstill, I had bald patches and stubbly bits until chemo finished but no more new growth. I had managed to keep my eye brows and eyelashes throughout chemo but then 3 or 4 weeks after it finished all my hair completely fell out - and I mean everything. I found this really difficult as I thought I was over the worst, a couple of weeks after this it started to grow back and grew back quite quickly, my eyebrows and eyelashes are still sparse but I think that’s probably due to the Phesgo. Good luck with everything.
