I should correct my previous post – it was when I was on DRD.

DVD does have a (Velcade component) and may be this is the culprit. DRD had Velcade as part of the treatmement as well. Hair loss was reported as a side effect in clinical studies of Velcade. But hair loss was reported only when the drug was used in combination with other cancer drugs that are known to cause hair loss.

I certainly had hair thining whilst on DVD and Zometa. I put it down to DVD because after 8 cycles and a nice break my hair recovered. They warned me I would not lose my hair but it would probably get thinner. So don’t worry it will get better once you are off that particular treatment. Take care.
