My original dx was a 10 cm mass in right breast. Had AC, then Taxotere to reduce size, then surgery. My hair actually started to come back while on Taxotere, but after over a year, I still can't go without a wig. The whole top front is so bare. It did come in black and gray AND straight (instead of brownish).
You're braver then I am. My grandkids (who I see only a couple of times a year, though) haven't seen me without wig.
I also had radiation after surgery. And 2 months after that, was dx with mets to liver and bones. Am now taking Navelbine. No progression as yet.
Glad to hear that Gemzar didn't have bad side effects since that may be my next one.
Good luck, and no, this certainly came as a surprise because I had been very healthy my whole life.
