I started 1st TC in early July 2025, last one in early September. My Oncologist also went through same chemo regime, and she recommended Biotin supplements and hair oil (I used a blended hair serum with rosemary oil and peppermint oil). My hair grew back with a vengeance! I had stick straight hair, kind of blended gray color with a medium blond base. It came in white and super curly. Chemo curl. I stopped wearing wigs and caps around mid November, but the real growth was in around January. I've had 3 haircuts since my initial buzz cut when hair started falling out. It's still in a pixy kind of style, but the curl (I named it the old lady afro), is starting to calm down.
I would say that my taste buds are finally back, and I was able to eat the things that repulsed me by mid November after September chemo was done.
Blessings on your recovery!

I had 11 rounds of Taxol. Two months after my last infusion, peach fuzz started. I'm 7 months out from last infusion and I almost need a haircut.
