I thought I'd report back...

I've had pretty good thinning going on for my whole treatment (started on day 22), but still plenty of hair! I'd say I lost about 50%. It's noticable at the crown (in my part) and if I wear a pony tail. But it's been nice to have the hair. I guess once it starts to grow again, I'll have little hairs around.

I had my last Taxol last week and am just on to Herceptin.

Thanks again!
