Do you lose hair with Taxol?

cccardenas112- I had Taxol and Carboplatin 2 years ago. I lost my hair in 2 weeks. I had my 2 chemos weekly.
My sister just had the same two but every 3 weeks. She lost hers after the 2nd treatment.
Maybe the carboplatin is the one that steals our hair. :-).
I bought 2 wigs and kind of wore one. It was during Covid, so I worked from home. Also, check out headcovers.com. They have really soft beanie hats. My head was cold, so I think I wore them day and night. I have about 8.
To add, when I started my chemo's I put on one bracelet and added every week. Once I got to six infusions, I took one off. Simple stretchy ones I got at Michaels.

I didn’t lose my hair on Carbo and Gemzar

These are very helpful ideas. I love the bracelet idea 🙂
I just have Taxol by itself and it seems to be have mixed results. Thank you 🙏🏼
