    I did 2 rounds of AC and lost my hair (well, I wound up shaving it like everyone else).  I have just completed 2 rounds of Taxotere/Herceptin, and I could swear my hair is growing back in - little sprouts here and there.  Has anyone else had hair regrowth with Tax?

    Mine started growing back after my 4th treatment (I had 6 altogether).  I'm four weeks out from chemo and it's coming in faster now.  My daughter says I have a 5 o'clock shadow on my head!

    I have had 4 AC's and 2 Tx's (out of 4).  The hair under my arms and on my legs have started growing in with a vengeance.  I have to shave every other day.  Can't say the same for the rest of my hair but those two areas are growing just fine.

    I had 6 rounds of Taxotere and Gemzar.  My hair started growing back right before the 5th cycle, which surprised me.  I'm now about 8 weeks post chemo, with 2 more radiation treatments left and I have about an inch of hair that sticks straight up.  I look like Billy Idol!

    I'm hoping to ditch the wigs by Memorial Day.
