Hair unfair

so this seems unfair

7 wks after chemo finishes, eyebrows and eyelashes fall out and legs grow lots of hair ??

Chemo the gift that keeps giving ??

 

At at least hair on head is growing - although it's quite gray

  • Hey, that's about when I lost the last couple remaining eyebrow hairs, & now, probably another 7 weeks on, I have all my eyelashes & a good ortion of my eyebrows.

    On the downside, the facial hair is back in full force, before I start femoral this week ????. 

    Take care, Lyn

  • It certainly is the gift that keeps giving!! I finished chemo 5 weeks ago my hair did start on my head about 7 weeks ago once I was on taxol instead of AC I lost all eyebrows eyelashes about a month ago in a weird funny twist of fate I remember clearly sitting on the lounge and noticing the hair on my legs was growing - darn still waiting for eyelashes and brows amongst everything else it does seem minimal but trying to get ourselves back to some kind of normal is a tad hard now I go around with a crew cut no eyebrows lashes and my left expander waving about 2 inches higher than my surviving breast not difficult for myself or others to notice ah well xxx 

  • OMG you poor thing. I am thinking of and feeling for you.  They had better grow back fast.  I hope that this is not a normal occurrence as I have got my last chemo on the 12th and like you mine are still in tack.
