I can't seem to find an answer to this question on the web (at least not quickly). Does anyone know offhand? The specific chemo is weekly Taxol. Thanks. - Tony

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to answer. The consumer affairs folks at Pfizer don't know for sure, either. They suggest we talk to Gloria's doctor. Frankly,
I think we'll get better information about this issue from the people here! - Tony

I'm not a doctor so I'm gonna guess. Chemotherapy attacks cells that divide quickly like hair cells, mucous membranes, finger and toenails and even cancer cells

If chemo is killing hair cells I'm not sure how Rogaine is gonna prevent that - plus, Rogaine takes at least eight weeks to work, yes?
By that time another couple of chemo cycles will have happened.

Hair loss with Adriamycin is pretty much universal. Deborah's hair started growing back slowly when she was switched to Taxotere and
Navelbine didn't cause hair loss at all.
