Everyone is different!When you do the dose-dense regimen, it takes a little longer to the toxicity to accumulate...I was on weekly tx, & my hair started thinning after about 5 weeks.It took an additional 4 weeks or so before it had thinned so much that I buzzed it off.So I guess technically, my hair thinned, but it wasn't really normal hair.I was on tx for 49 weeks and went through cycles of being bald and super bald, and I did have some hair, but nothing presentable.I was also told that hair loss (or any toxicity)does NOT correlate to efficacy of treatment.
I remember the fear I felt about losing my hair...it was greater than once it was finally gone.I'm NED now, and in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather be NED & bald.Regardless, I dread the potential that I may have to go back on tx one day and will potentially lose my hair again.
Take good care of yourself and keep the faith!
