I was on ac 4 rounds then taxol 4 rounds. I started to get peach fuzz after taxol, but 2wks after last chemo dose it fell out. also at that time I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes. hair on my head then begin to grow back again. I now have peach fuzz on my head, but no growth on my legs or any where else. it has now been 6 wks since last chemo. did anyone else have this problem? If so how long did it take to get hair? How long before u shaved your legs after last chemo?
My hair on legs came back with a vengeance! I must say, I miss not having to shave!
It will come back. Just wait. It will I stopped chemo on December31 by March second I had good peach fuzz. Now on June 1st people adore my short hair cut ( havent had it cut yet!) It grows back. Enjoy what you can do with it.
Honey, I had chemo FOURTEEN years ago and I still have not shaved my legs but once and then only because I.....I dunno, just wanted to I guess!! Lashes not as thick but also no underarm hair so it's a trade-off.
I also had ac & taxol. I lost my eyebrows during the taxol. My hair grew back about 4-6 weeks later. I had it colored on April 5th. It had to be long enough for my stylist to grab. When it grew back I had hair growing in places that I never had hair before. Give it time.
My hair started growing back about 4 months after chemo, I think everyone is different. My legs rarely need shaving anymore now more than a year later...there are some things to be grateful for!!
