I have been using "follicle booster" by nioxen. It's expensive...$20.00 for one ounce. Anyways, I started using it and my hair starting coming in. I'm still on chemo. I don't know if it was coincidence, or it would have grown back without it. I continue to use it. I have heard from others that their hair grew back while on taxol. Hope this helps
Warmly,
Judie
