Do you lose hair with Taxol?

I started losing hair after 2 weeks on the A/C infusions (4 total). I continued to lose hair gradually over the 12 weeks of Taxol. The hair loss was over every bit of my body including nasal hairs. Also be careful of your fingernails. Losing fingernails and toenails is not uncommon. I was lucky enough to avoid that, but noticed some black areas towards the end.

I have the Taxol for the first 12 weeks so hopefully it will be gradual. I have the a/c for the last 12 weeks, 4 total, like you. I’m prepared to lose it then but just wasn’t sure about the first 12 weeks since 2 nurses told me 2 different things. Thank you! At least I won’t need a bikini wax for the summer, lol;) Thank you!
