Re: hair
Yes,
I had the docataxel too. 6 treatments with 2 of them with a 33% increased dosage. If I had known the risk of permanent hair loss I would have made a different choice about the amount and the number of treatments. Later I saw a study that showed 4 treatments were as effective as 6. I've really regretted the additional 2 treatments. Sigh.
I have hair, but it is much thinner than before chemo, noticeably in the crown. I would love for it to be more full there.
I want to hear what the dermatologist recommends.
