Your son is so innocent and so funny.Lucky you still have your sense of humour.Did you end up getting a wig?I found my scalp too sore at first to wear mine.I never really took to it.

Thank you ladies, its only by asking you all about the more 'detailed' stuff that you get answers! So thank you - I am sick of flipping through mountains of leaflets, book and such like that I end up throwing it aside in frustration, it is all so vague!  So thank you so much x x x Josie

Hi again, I lost most of my eyebrows and nearly all my eyelashes.  I think that was the hardest as you look real different without eyelashes. As for the rest of my body, most of the hair on my legs went but not too much in the pube area. I was very disapointed, they were the only hairs I wouldnt have minded to lose altogether.  Im just over a year since my last FEC but have had other treatments along the way and nearly all hair have grown back.  My eyelashes are still a concern as they are still thin, but everywhere wlse is normal.

I'm getting used to experimenting a little though I got frustrated with my scarf yesterday and pulled a funky beanie on but it was a bit hot - lucky it will get cold soon.  I had to wear my little sleep beanie to bed last night.  

I was trying on some clothes in a shop yesterday when my son decided to open the door so all of the shop saw a bald half naked, wonky boobed Mummy!  He then proceeded very loudly (he is 4) to discuss my boob with me - you have a hole mum, that's where they cut the cancer out, it looks funny but they left your red heart in cause you'd be dead otherwise wouldn't you!  and on and on...

God - if it wasn't so funny I would have curled up in a ball :-)  

Tonya - I laughed at the Biker/gypsy comment!  I keep telling the kids their futures! I was very good at it last week - "I see Chocolate in your future!" lol

I haven't lost my brows and lashes yet but nothing is growing - usually I would be plucking a bit.  I imagine I will lose them on the taxotere.  I have lost my pubic hair and there isn't any hair growing on my legs or pits either - I guess there must be some upside to it!

You lose your eyebrows,eyelashes and body hair(including pubes).You may keep a few strays here and there.I got by with an eyebrow pencil.I did keep a few eyebrow hairs.Actually it's all come back alot thinner.The hair on my head is growing so slowly but don't get me started on THAT topic!

I went for a 'check up' at my Oncologist yesterday and he told me that my hair would start to fall out in a few days - I have had a 'number 2' cut (thanks to my hubby) and I haven't noticed a thing (exept I look like a little fat frumpy skin-head freak!) So I am wondering 'when is it going to happen?' I guess I should feel fortunate I still have some hair, by the way do you lose your eyebrows (not that it would matter with me - mine are greay!) x x x Cheers Josie
