Hi Nadine,
I finished 6 rounds of AC Chemo 22/03. I have a full covering of hair about 1cm long, maybe a fraction long, no visible scalp now. Its come back the same colour. I expected it to be quite grey but its not just a few here & there like it was before chemo. Not ready to go to work without my wig yet but I do go to parkrun on Saturdays without a beanie or my wig... Happy enough to be seen by my parkrunning buddies "ah la natural", I even let them touch it last Saturday...
I didn't totally lose my eyebrows they just thinned & I used pencil to create a fuller look. My eyelashes thinned as well but I was able to use mascara the whole time & not look weird.
I am having to start shaving my legs & armpits again now & will have to go for a bikini wax in a couple of weeks - not so happy about those things it was very convenient not having hair in those places!!!!
