Loss of eyelashes
Hi everyone,
It is about 8 weeks since my last round of chemo, during which I lost most of my body hair with the exception of my eyebrows and eyelashes. Now, 8 weeks on my eyebrows have thinned out...
Margherite, isn't it exciting when you wake up one morning and realise your hair has started growing back! And Anne, I didn't even notice that my eyebrows were gone to tell the truth. I wasn't fussed about it but then I wasn't much fussed about being bald either - just goes with the territory. I do have one very strong memory though. About 6 months before my hair started growing (I was wtihout it for quite a lot longer than Margherite) I was taken to the gardens on a mild sunny autumn day. I have never experienced such pleasure as the sun on my head and a gentle breeze across my skull. Something those with hair will never feel (and I kind of hope I won't feel again... ) That was my "silver lining" and I really hope you find some of your own. s
