Re: starting weekly Taxol & Herceptin - hair loss?
Done with all 12 weeks of Taxol! Will now just have Herceptin every three weeks for the rest of the year. Have about 90 percent of my hair remaining...definitely shedding heavier than normal---but if I can get thru the next two weeks without losing too much more I should be safe right? eyebrows and lashes still here.....
