I’m currently on docetaxel and losing my hair. I have heard this can be permanently. Has anyone got any positive stories of hair regrowth whilst being on this drug. Thanks
Hi Southend, I was also on docetaxel (as well as carboplatin) during my chemo and lost all my hair after about the 2nd or 3rd cycle. It was hard particularly when, at the back of my mind, I wondered if this would be permanent so I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm now 3 months post-chemo and have a good inch of regrowth. I even started to notice a bit of fuzzy growth quite soon after the last cycle and that felt really positive after all the physical and emotional stress. I really hope you get through your chemo cycles ok and can look forward to your own hair regrowth very soon
