Cant say i hate that..... My eyebrows have thinned but not fallen out completely so a little eyebrow pencil has done the trick well.. My eyelashes are still intact though I do have false ones in he draw just in case.
I have continued working full time even to the point of Chemo in the morning & heading straight into the office for the afternoon. I have not suffered any nausea (thank goodness) though I do make sure the anti nausea tablets are always on hand, just in case.
I have also continued to run 5km on Saturday mornings at parkrun most weeks, I volunteer the first Saturday after chemo instead as I find day 4 or 5 after chemo to be my 'tired' day.
I even went on a 2 week cruise to PNG in celebration of my 30th wedding anniversary during treatment.
My chemo journey hasnt been too bad & I wish you good luck with yours.
