Re: Just Starting Our Fight, Help.

The hair doesn't always grow back. I'd like to have my pre-chemo hair. If I had to do it all over, I'd wear a cold cap, switch taxanes from docetaxel to taxol, and stop at 4 chemo treatments. Some ladies permanently lose their hair with chemo - all of it.

We all have different things that bother us - that was mine. Plus the loss of cognitive function, memory, etc.

Hence - the enthusiasm over any advance in the treatment of cancer that moves us all away from chemo to more personalized care.
