Hello ladies - my oncologist will be placing me on Doxil with Avastin. I was searching previous posts on Doxil side effects but didn’t see anything on hair loss. For those who were on Doxil, did you lose your hair? Thank you.

No, not really. May be a little more than usual shedding.

I am on Doxil now and I haven't lost any hair. I lost hair right away with other treatments.
