I never realized when I lost my hair almost two years ago, that I would never see it again! I keep waiting for it to grow back but now realize I have permanent hair loss from the Taxotere. I have the slightest of fuzz on my head, no eyebrows or eyelashes.

I do remember having my head shaved after the first chemo. I waited until it started to come out and rushed to the hairdresser. It was shocking to see what I looked like with no hair, but I soon found life was much easier with no hair to fix! I told my husband he had it made not having to worry about his hair. Getting dressed and ready for the day was a breeze!

Now that I am two years out from stage 3b, her2+++ breast cancer, I would love to have my hair back to fix! With no eyebrows and eyelashes I still look like a cancer patient.....
