Hate to bring this up but I wonder… I am 5 1/2 months post chemo, 4 Fec and 4 Taxotere, currently still having herceptin…my hair is only like 1/2 inch and still very thin on top especially right above where fringe would grow. I am soooo sick with wearing wig and scarves…anyone can offer any info? I use nioxin products…
by the way… the other areas (not top part) is very thick.
best wishes,
lee xx
Hi Lee
Don’t despair. I finished chemo at the end of October 2007 and couldn’t go out uncovered until June this year. It felt like forever but it does come back eventually. I am still having herceptin too - not sure how much difference it makes.
Good luck and hang on in there.
Love

We are all different it seems. I too had 4 FEC and 4 Taxotere, and my hair started to grow back after the last FEC. I finished the Tax in November and now have a full head of hair about 3 inches long and very curly! I am also on Herceptin.
I just wanted to say that mine too, was very patchy when it returned, especially as you say, Lee, in the front area, and I was worried in case I would be left with baldy patches and a receding hairline. However, it DID eventually “grow in”, so be patient and don’t worry too much, hopefully you will soon have it all back :))
