Hair

hi ladies, just a few questions. I finished chemo approx 6 was ago. I lost all my hair on my body......like so many of us do.

1. When your hair starts to grow back on your head do I  need to cut the fine hairs that have started to grow? And how long does it take to grow back? 

2. How long do eyebrows and eye lashes take to grow back? 

3. With Radiothreapy has anyone else experienced itchy arms, leg and back.  I did ask the nurse and he said it's not a side effect but I did also speak to another lady receiving Radiothreapy and she has experienced itchy spots. 

Thanks girls,

 

Anne-Marie ??

    Not every strand of my old hair fell out, not until several weeks after chemo when most gave up and fell out. I just got a longer buzz cut to even up those long ones so it blended in with the new stuff. I look like a mouse if you have ever patted one. Soft and silky and almost the same colour atm too lol.
