hi- I had a similar reaction with Taxotere- I only lost about 50% -60% of my hair. It started falling out after my 2nd infusion. I thought I'd be proactive and cut it very short- didn't shave my head, but close. I lost more with each infusion, I had 5 (TCH) , but I for sure would not have needed to cut my hair like that. I'm glad to hear of someone else this has happened to! You may get lucky and not lose it all-

good luck and best wishes to you-
