I will be getting four rounds of Taxotere and cyclophosphamide this month. I am hearing that Taxotere can cause permanent hair loss. Has anyone had this experience?

I think I'd ask for another chemo, not Taxotere. like Taxol..something that has been on the market for a long time and couldn't cause complete baldness for life. If I ever need chemo again, I would not take Taxotere. I have hair but it is poor.

Taxotere burned my hands and feet. I couldn't walk, so they cut back on the dose.

I had four, and my hair came back thick and curly. I will say my eyebrows, eyelashes, and leg hair didn't come back nearly as thick as before. Of course thin leg hair isn't a bad thing.
