a/c followed by THP. taxol hair loss after A/C

rachface23

Its another hair loss question. I did 4 round of A/C and began losing my head, pubic and armpit hair between 14-21 days. I was meant to start taxol for 12 weeks (with Hereptin and P every third week) but because of a blood clot, then some abnormal blood work following and then a blender accident with my finger, I was delayed 5 weeks. In that time, I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes and most of my remaining head hair. Today, I have completed 3 rounds of taxol, with my 4th round tomorrow (so 21 days in) and my hair has been growing back in for a couple of weeks now. my eye lashes and eye brows are short, but growing in full and dark. Will I lose my hair a second time because of taxol or will it continue to grow (slowly)? thanks and any similar experiences would be appreciated. I have ready people's hair tart coming back in during the 12 weeks on taxol after A/C, so I thought maybe the taxol itself doesn't cause hairless after hair loss has already occurred? Thanks so mu
ch!
