Mary Ann,
Glad to hear things are going so well. I must admit it is great when your hair begins to grow back. Mine is now about an inch long and poker straight. I had natural curly hair as a kid and as I grew up the curly part went away but I had a lot of natural body to it. The eyebrows and eyelashes are another thing. They grew back but every so often I seem to be loosing the eyelashes --not completely but just some. I never realized what an important role eyelashes played until I lost mine. I couldn't go out without sunglasses on -- seemed everything go in my eyes. The human body is an amazing thing. Hope things continue to improve for you.
