I got peach fuzz during my first tx, but related it to the amount of decadron I was receiving. I have been taking a lot less decadron this time, and do not have the peach fuzz. I don't know if either of you are are were taking a steriod. Anyone else?

You could be right! My hair did start to grow when I was still on Taxol. I was on Decadron before each treatment. My daughter has a very rare auto immune disease and she has been on heavy steroids for more that 3 years. Peach fuzz is a side effect for her along with many other things. Why didn't I think of that?

This is why I love this site. So much knowledge to share if we only ask!
