Loosing My Hair AGAIN!!!

My eyelashes/eyebrows all fell out right at the end, but I definitely started getting head regrowth while on Taxotere.

Just remember, in 4 more weeks it will grow back for real! And, blonde, that is cool. 

wow....a sexy blonde.....who knew?

My hair on my head only grew during Taxol, but I did lose my eyelashes and eyebrows on Taxol.  Then 4 weeks PFC my eyebrows and lashes came back.  My eyebrows were really growing in thick - had them shaped and waxed twice.  Now they've stopped growing again and thinned a little, but it doesn't appear that they will completely fall out (and I'm 3 months PFC).  Taxol does strange things to our bodies...... 

It will get better - before you know it you'll be sporting a short sexy style for the summer

Unless something happens to me in the next 3 weeks or so, I am not going to lose my remaining hair on Taxol.  The stuff started growing at the end of AC, but the undergrowth stalled.  The dark hairs on top are actually growing slowly.

I suspect that it all will even up at some point.  Not too worried.  Would love to have some eyelashes and odd to be filling in as opposed to shaping/trimming brows.

The biggest adjustment was realizing that my long, lush trademark black hair was history, and to cut it into a nice bob prior to chemo.  The rest has been relatively minor. 

But it was time for a major re-invention anyway.

(Poor Main Squeeze.  I teased him about the days when he complained about my long hair "getting in the way of things".  He is just fine with my having very little hair, which does make a big difference in how I feel about things.)

Pure: just anticipate your gorgeous blonde hair.  Sounds great, and maybe you can rock a short, sassy blonde look.

I am taking the philosophical view that this is the opportunity to rock a variety of looks that I never dared to wear when I was younger.

My husband, too!

Pure - The hair that didn't fall out during AC seems to be falling out now (can tell b/c it's darker and longer), but the new stuff that grew in blonde seems to be sticking around and is starting to turn brown.  My eyebrows and eyelashes fell out about 4 weeks into taxol, but the eyebrows are starting to grow back now, too.  So maybe what you're seeing is older stuff and the new growth will stay?  We're almost there!

I don't think mine thought it was sexy but I remember once after sex him saying, "hmmm, I never did it with a blonde chick." lol.  He also told me how beautiful I was even bald.  I loved that he lied to me when I  needed it most.
