I am one of the unlucky taxotere hair victims. It happened back in 2005 and For years i would ask various oncologists what happened. All they would say is "this is not suppose to happen". I thought for years that I was the only person this had happened to until I had my first appt with Dr. Slamon in 2009. He told me between 1 to 3% of those who get taxotere never get their hair back. I struggled with being bald until I found the hair system I wear today.
