2nd Time Hair Loss

Hi again... I would like to know your feelings of loosing your hair for the 2nd time. I feel sad, but again it is just hair. You know it is like cooking. It takes along time to prepare and then in a few it is gone...

Ya know I feel real insecure this time around with my husband. Anyone else experience these feelings?

I am starting Taxol in 2 weeks. This will be my 2nd time on it. I was on it weekly for a year as my original chemo with herceptain. The hercepatin has never stopped. I didn't originally fail on herceptain but I had a good year behind me so we took a chemo holiday for a year.

Is there anyone out there that has not lost their hair w/ Taxol?

Thank You Guys!!!
