Sorry sweetie yes it is a side effect..Hugs to you.. Ronni
What is your dose of Cytoxan? I'm on a 50mg pill I take each day and while I did notice a *few* hairs fall out at the beginning, I still have a full head of hair. It is not a side effect of Avastin but it can be a side effect of Cytoxan, depending on the dose. I was told I may lose my hair at the beginning, but then another oncologist told me the dose was far too low to cause hair loss.
Hope this helps...

I am on 50mg a day. A friend told me the same as you stated.
Thanks for the feedback....
I had cytoxan iv with gemzar and had a little thinning on top, not too bad. My dr. had mentioned the possibility. Donna
