9 down, 25 to go...but I just want eyebrows!

I was so shocked 2 weeks after my final chemo to lose my eyebrows and eyelashes. Am now away from home and my kids having radiation and am so self conscious . Ironic really considering the hair re growth on my head resembles George from Seinfeld . How long does it take for them to grow back? Lisa

    Thanks Deanne, I totally agree with you re appearance. I am only 6 weeks post chemo, but entrenched in radiation, so have a while to go I guess. I can deal with the hair on the head thing, that's what scarves are for, and if I ever get some hair on top of my head soon to add to my 'George' ring, I won't need a scarf. It's just wrong that your eyebrows and eyelashes are gone and there is hair growing on your shins! What's with that? Lisa
