    I had taxol weekly and herceptin every third week.The taxol makes your hair shed. I had very thick hair. It started shedding after treatment #4 and by treatment #7 I had so many bald spots I had to shave it off. I think I've seen some postings from women saying they did not shave but ended up having to wear a wig eventually because of the shedding.
