Anyone had gemcitabine and docetaxel for Bladder Cancer?

I finished my 6 week induction 3 weeks ago and have been losing a lot of hair. Might be the gem/doce or might be stress and anxiety, not sure, just hoping it lets up soon.

I did a different chemo and understand your feelings about hair loss. Even though I knew it would come back afterwards, it surprised me how much it bothered me. I think it was looking in the mirror and not recognizing myself during that time. Chemo is rough. Hang in there! 🩷

Yes, I had hair loss. They don’t mention this as a side effect but after I completed the treatments my hair returned to “normal”. I guess not everyone experiences hair loss with these treatments.
