White hair

Hi,

I know its a bummer but look to the bright side, they WILL grow back. It just takes a little time. Im not sure if there is waterproof eyebrow pencil stuff. Why not try usind a eye lining pen, the liquid kind, I think you can get waterproof ones of those.  Enjoy your holiday and stuff what you look like, Its only your opinion that counts, dont give a s**t about what other people think. You are beautiful!

i so agree with you Keryn, i cant stand looking at myself in the mirror!!! i am 2 weeks post chemo.....1 eyebrow completely gone and 1 virtually gone...i am ok with eyebrow eye make up but we are going up north in a few weeks and i am desperately looking for some waterproof eyebrow makeup...so far i have had no luck....its all so hard...the way i look is having such a huge impact on how i feel....i just want to be "me" again.....

My eyebrows have never fully recovered and my eyelashes took so long to grow back I was thinking it would never happen.

My hair started white and then turned a silver, but it came back curly, I am told I will loose this but I am 8 months post chemo with a full head of thick hair and the curls are still here! yay me I say I am loving them.

So I guess for us all its a waiting game on the hair and to be honest I am just grateful to have it back.

cheers

Hi, This worst thing for me was the exiting of my eyebrows. It makes your face look entirely different, then most of my eyelashes left as well. But they do grow back. My eyebrows came back pretty quickly but it has taken a while for my eyelashes to be full again.

Hi,

I was wanting my hair to grow back white then I could colour it anyway I wanted. (i want to be purple) I have dirty blonde hair before chemo and now have mousy brown hair that is harder and more resistant to colouring. Usualy your hair will return to a near normal colour for you but sometimes it dosnt. Just like our cancers our hair is very much different to others. Enjoy it while you can. I dont care too much for having no hair so Im thrilled to have hair.
