Hi Tonya,
Found this thread of yours about hair loss & can so relate to it all. I had 3 rounds of FEC followed by 3 rounds of Taxotere. Reading of your experience I can now understand why my hair is taking sooooo long to return. It is coming back (finished last chemo on 9th Feb this year) but it is still only about 2cm cover, mousy brown baby hair & looks straight at the moment. I was originally a blonde too with straight, past shoulder length hair - wonder what I'll end up with when it comes in properly. I lost all my hair including eyebrows & eyelashes but they too are coming back in.
I have a hired wig from the RAH in Adelaide that I wear on special occasions only, as I too find them hot & itchy & feel self concious in it but everyone who has seen me in it that knows me says it looks very natural & if people didn't know otherwise, would not guess. Last time I wore it was on the 30th Apr this year for my daughter's wedding.
Just glad to now know that my hair situation is not unusual & it WILL come back properly in its own good time....LOL
