Hi Anne Marie. I was very surpassed at how quickly everything grows back after chemo. I finished chemo on 22 March. I was completely bald, no eyelashes and no eyebrows. I had light eyebrows by 6 April - enough to get them tinted. Full eyebrows by beginning of May. My eyelashes have grown back about half way - enough to use mascara. I now have about 1-1.5 cm of hair all over my head. I never cut the fine hairs as they just kept getting thicker day by day. It didn't take very long at all. I didn't get itchy with radiotherapy.
Take care, Nadine
