Check with the Oncology nurse about the Halaven hair loss.
It may be atypical as compared to Taxol and you might start worrying it isnt working based on the lack of hair loss or regrowth of hair while on the drug. Apparently about half the pathents lose a lot of hair and there can be regrowth while the patient is still getting the drug. Some of the Halaven patients in that group I stumbled on were saying "How can the drug be working if my hair is growing while Im still getting it? It seems that the hair loss with Halaven is not the same as with Taxol and Adriamycin. The Oncology nurse probably would know a lot about this.
