Hello - I am learning to live with permanent hair loss from a breast cancer treatment drug, taxotere.

Thank you for the friend invite and welcome to alopeciaworld! Sorry I haven't been on as much, my Mama had a stroke and I was one of her caregivers. She's fine now though. Hope you're doing fine and keep in touch!
Hi, OKB (I bet that's not your real name - I'm sensitive like that :) ) - and Ta for the friend add! How's tricks? Hope you're still in remission - any luck with the hair this year?

Welcome! My mom had breast cancer, and went the radiation route. She never lost her hair. However...I did...since age ten, with alopecia. Look at the discussion topics for wigs and eyebrows, and write to those who you think have choices that might work for you. Good luck!
