When did hair loss start with Abraxone/Gecitabine chemo?

Posted by Marsha @gmapri, Jan 26 1:47pm

Have had 2 rounds with 3rd coming Friday. Getting mixed messages about the likihood of hair loss. Was going to be pro-active, get a short cut and fit for a wig. Now I am not sure if I should wait and see what happens. What has been your experience. If you did lose, how long after beginning treatment, especially if this combo of drugs.

@danderso19 Hi and Welcome to Mayo Connect. You seem to have some experience with Gem/Abrax. What led up to you taking that chemo regimen?

@tomrennie I did 12 rounds of folferinox (sp) and it plateaued in its effectiveness toward the end. So they put me on G/A to get the final mile reducing the cellular activity of the mass. I’ve done 4 rounds, scans tomorrow.
