How long before my peach fuzz turns into REAL HAIR? I've had fuzz for 3 months.

    toby, I just went back and looked at my hair regrowth pictures. At 15 weeks I had about 1/4" of "hair", at 27 weeks I finally had  hair long enough to cover my scalp. You don't say what chemo you had and if you are still on Herceptin. Some people regrow a lot faster than others, mine seemed to come in very slowly.

    i finished the Red Devil in April, then i finished Taxol yesterday, but i have about a quarter inch of soft fuzz, but  it isnt hair. And yes, i'm on hercepton until April.

    Deb, I had TC chemo, six rounds.  Last dose in June 2010.  Had that baby-fine fuzz all summer long. I have a great pic of my infant niece on my lap and we're both downy-headed bald girls laughing and wearing sunglasses.  Had enough to call it 'hair' by Labor Day (Sept).  Take note of your face, you may have the peace fuzz there too.  It's normal.  I read you were supposed to let it come out on its own but I got impatient and had my hairdresser give me a shave LOL.  TG it did not come back.  Best wishes! ♥
