Yep—lost it all by the third treatment. Thought I’d have a hard time with it but told the nurses at the infusion center that if I had known it would lower my core body temperature by about three degrees I would have shaved it all off willingly during menopause. I have finally stopped being hot all of the time!! Couldn’t wear a wig-too hot. Had a head covering for work mostly because my patients worried more about me than I did them. Mostly just wore a baseball cap if I covered my head at all. Hair started growing back about two months after treatment.

Yes lost my hair, eye lashes and part of my eyebrows plus hair everywhere else in my body. But it grew back 3 months after my taxol treatments ended.

I started losing my hair after my third and went in and had my hairdresser shave it off. I didn’t like it falling out in clumps and I had purchased lots of fun colorful on cap to wear with my fake bangs that I have a quote on. You will not only lose your hair on your head but you’ll probably also lose your eyelashes, your eyebrows, and hair elsewhere on your body. Mine on your back in. My hair on my head grew back curly.

@A MyBCTeam Member I had to do nearly 6 months chemo all together, a couple yrs ago, first was red devil, i forget the scientific name of that one, then Taxol.. I lost my hair practically right out of the gate.. like treatment number 3 of the first chemo.. But it wasn't quite as difficult, giving that right before I started.. my niece.. shaved my head for me.. Firstly, she clipped off a lock of my red hair, i still have, then I was shaved.. I cried and cried.. I still do..and right now, I'm virtually hugging you.. We have no choice but to be so effing tough.. hugs and prayers.. We've all got this.. and we are all wrapping our arms around each other, and yelling out a big f u to stupid cancer.. Hang in there.. 2032 or before.. Is going to be a miraculous time for all of us.. mark my words, and I pray we all make it.. <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
