It is a guarantee that you will lose your hair with most of the
combination chemo meds on the market now. Breana's hair started alling
out within a couple of weeks the first time.The second time was
approximately 6 months later, and this last time was in April,2006.We
expected the first 2 hair losses, but with Bre in maintenance phase of
chemo, we did not expect the third total hair loss.Our oncologist
assured me that in rare instances,with fair skinned,fair haired
people, this sometimes does occur.But it does grow back.
