Hair regrowth after Taxotere

by kalogria, Feb 17, 2007 12:00AM
Can anyone tell me their experience about hair regrowth after Taxotere please.

I've been a bit alarmed by some things I've read suggesting that hair either does not come back or is very thin and sparse after Taxotere unlike regrowth after other types of chemo.

thanks

Hi, i can assure you that hair does not always grow back after Taxotere.
I have a large list of ladies that have contacted me and a top Biotech company in Sweden have informed me that 6.3% of pateints using Taxotere do not get their hair back. When it happend its permanent. A docotr in Madrid did a case study on 50 people with this problem. Non of them had hair regorwth apart from one with almost got his hair back after 7 years and using an expensive drug! Outragous.
