For those that did the Taxotere and Cytoxan chemo when did your head hair start to come back in after the last treatment?

    It took a long 10 weeks before I could barely notice hair growth. It was easier to notice the "fuzz" when I got out of the shower. Eventually that fuzz turned into super curly/frizzy hair that was the color of pencil lead.

    Take care.

    I think I started seeing growth around 12 weeks out from my last dose of TC. Mine started out as peach fuzz but it filled in more over time.

    Sebastian- I had some very white hair around 10 weeks but it was very short and fuzzy. During Taxol I had peach fuzz and that just got thicker and was really noticeable at about 10 weeks pfc. This was a couple dats before the 10 week mark.

    It took about 10-12 weeks for growth to begin for me.

    I had my last chemo on or around October 18, amd I have epics from our trip to Arizona the following Feb where I has about An inch and a half of hair. We are all a little different I think. If you look in the hair hair hair -another question thread there are quite a few pics there. Bonne chances for rapid hair re growth

    My last TC was 1/29 and started getting patchy fuzz by March. About 2 weeks ago my whole head finally filled in and now I have a super short pixie of salt and pepper straight hair
