Sanofi hired a company to silence social media posts about their chemo drug Taxotere causing permanent hair loss. They kept it off the product label until they were forced to include it so reps couldn't discuss it with oncologists.

Many breast cancer patients that discover they're suffering from permanent hair loss after having Docetaxel/Taxotere are angry with themselves. They think had they turned to Google they'd have found out about this life changing side effect.

I've been bullied by one of the largest pharma companies in the world. They tried to break my strength. They tried to silence me. Their USA lawyers flew to France to drag me into a French courtroom.

Before Docetaxel/Taxotere and 5 years later.
Permanent hair loss isn't 'rare' has never been a 'rare' stat according to the EMA & MHRA. Yet doctors still claim it is to their unsuspecting breast cancer patients.
What happened to Informed Consent?

This is your occasional reminder - especially if under NHSE - to check if your “Doctors and anaesthetists” are actually doctors and anaesthetists. If they’re PAs & AAs ask who their supervisors are & why you’re seeing them & not a Dr.

worked for Iron Maiden for a few months when Nico first joined them. They were all great. Nico was expecting his firstborn and asked me if I'd babysit if he brought his partner and baby over. Years later he gave us and my son backstage tickets. Have a great retirement Nico xx
After 42 years, drummer Nicko McBrain will play his final show with Iron Maiden tonight

#breastcancer #cansky #mammogram
I've a new GP. He says after 19 years my 'bad' boob has healed and he doesn't want me to have yearly mammograms on it (continue with good side only). He says more damage/risk will be caused by annual mammos and only have them every other year on that side.

It's never 'just' hair, never.
Permanent hair loss pCIA from Docetaxel is not rare.
Hair doesn't always grow back.

Please remember this next time you tell a distraught loved one not to worry about losing her hair to chemo as it will grow back. You're helping to spread misinformation.
What to say instead? Point her in this direction ⬇️

Have you written a memoir about your cancer journey? Some stories just have to be told...this was one of them.

I had Taxotere 19 years ago for early stage breast cancer. There was no generic version then so no Docetaxel as most people know it by today.
It caused me and THOUSANDS of women to suffer from permanent hair loss. We were not warned.

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

Our home star won't go supernova, but the end of its life will be no less spectacular.

Did you know hair doesn't always grow back after chemo for breast cancer?
There's no cure.
It's likely you'll not be fully informed about it. It's medical term is pCIA.
You'll look like a cancer patient forever.
