I had the taxotere on a weekly basic so I didn't loose my hair that time. I am on a break for a few weeks now. The abraxane was just approved this year. I think it will cost me my hair this time. It is actually taxol in a diiferent solution so you don't have to take steroids with it. My Dr. said he would try to save my hair by giving it to me weekly instead of every three weeks. But Hope on this site is already on it that way and she said she lost her hair. But she is having great results with it. The good thing about it is I have been on constant chemo for 2 1/2 years. The Dr. said if this one works I maight get 4 to 6 months off chemo. I am a little nervous about starting this one. Let us know what your Dr. decides to try this time. Patty H
