hair loss

I am a 44 year old female that was diagnosed in August 2000.  I underwent 3 rounds of Adriamycin and 3 rounds of Taxotere followed by surgery and radiation.  I am happy to say that things are going well, except that my hair has not come back.  I have some hair on the sides and back of my head, my eyelashes have returned, and I shave my legs on a regular basis.  I have very little hair on the top of my head and my eyebrows have not returned.  Do you have any information that might help me?  I have tried several doctors, but can't seem to find any answers.  Is it possible that it is just slow or that it won't come back at all?  I would appreciate any advice you might have or putting me in contact with someone who has had a similar experience.  Thank you so much for your time.  Jane
