Taxol and Hair Loss

I am going into my third round of taxol and herceptin. Before I started chemo, I got a "short" haircut. After three weeks my hair was all over the place. I went back to my hairdresser to get an even shorter haircut. Silly me, I thought she could do that. She told me she couldn't cut it because if she washed it, it would all come out in the sink. So she shaved it. I don't know who cried more me or her! My eyebrows and lashes are much thinner but they are still there. I think losing my eyelashes and eyebrows may be harder than than losing all the hair on my head! The hair on my head is growing but it's white "duck fuzz". In the end though, if going through this helps me to live, it will all have been worth it!!!!! Surely, one day, I pray I will get off the taxol and my hair will grow out as it was before.
