White hair

Hi Fiona,, you lucky duck,lol xx what chemo were you having,, and how often,, did you do anything to help with it,, I start chemo on Wednesday,, I'm 50 and have no grey that I can see, but maybe there somewhere, I have fine hair,, and brows,, I expect to lose all, I'm on 3 x FEC once every 3 weeks,, followed by 3 x Docetaxel 1every 3 weeks,, take care,, love Lorraine. Xxxx P.S any one else had same chemo would love to hear from you about your experience!! Love to all you strong fabulous women!!!! Xxxxxxx.

I am so fortunate that my hair grew back to my original colour of a dark blonde. I didn't have a grey hair before so not sure if this helped as I am 51 and also had my eyebrows waxed 4 weeks ago. I finished my 6 months of chemo only 3 months ago and had completely lost my eyebrows so am not sure what I am doing right or if it is just luck. I quite like my new look. Cheers Fiona

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
