So my hair is just now starting to shed, after my 3rd tx. I don’t know whether to shave it? I have heard some ppl just lose some hair... Not all and I have very thick hair. Any advice from ppl who are on this med and your experience pls :-

    I lost quite a bit of hair about two weeks after my first Abraxane infusion. On day sixteen it wouldn’t stop falling out so I buzzed it. It’s now almost two weeks after my second infusion and my scalp feels like I’m about start losing what is left.

    Ok good to know. I have had 3 so far and now is my week off. Just last 2 days it’s coming out but more like shedding. Not falling out. Gonna wait bit longer and see what happens. Thanks for the reply :-)
