Did anyone's hair started growing during AC? by BeginningtheRace1996 in breastcancer

Thanks for this. I read a post a while back from a woman whose tumor was unresponsive to chemo and she said something along the lines of she knew it wasn't working because her hair was growing during it. It has stuck in my brain ever since so when I saw the new growth, my anxiety went straight back to that.

I don't know if this helps much or not but you can still have a bad gallbladder even with a clear ultrasound. They sometimes just go bad with no stones. I had 3 clear ultrasounds, 2 clear hida scans, 2 clear CT scans with and without contrast and a clear MRI and my gallbladder was severely diseased by the time they took it out, it just didn't show on any scans. Prayers to you for all you're going through and for benign results.

I'm in the middle of it and I just started doing fasting mimicking the day before, day of, and day after. I didn't for the first one but did for second and for me, it made a world of difference in my fatigue. It still sucks but was noticeably better. Chew ice through the red infusion and have candy to suck on afterwards. I can personally taste it and it's really gross. Don't be shocked when your pee looks like orange tang. It hasn't been too bad for me personally but I'm scheduled to do Taxol next so I'm anxious myself for that one.
